Stackpole’s RC series is an axial leaded carbon composition technology available in 1/4W, 1/2W, and 1W power ratings. The RC’s dense carbon slug element handles high energy surges much better than metal film based surge resistors.

Stackpole announces the release of the CSRF0603 and CSRF0402 sizes to add to their broad current sense resistor product group. The CSRF0603 is available in resistance values from 5 to 10 milliohms in 1% tolerance and 75 ppm TCR.

Stackpole Electronics, Inc., through its strategic alliance with KEKO Varicon, announces the AVL Series of radial leaded automotive varistors that are designed to protect automotive level electrical systems from transient voltage events. The AVL Series is designed specifically to protect 12V, 24V, and 42V automotive electrical systems.

The BR series from Stackpole is a thru hole current sense resistor series offering power ratings up to 5 watts with low PCB temperatures. The BR series elevates the resistive element off of the board for maximum cooling into the ambient air and minimizing the amount of heat that must be dealt with at the board level.

The HMC series from Stackpole is a thick film based chip resistor series capable of high resistance values. This series utilizes special high resistance inks and volume production to achieve a chip resistor that is capable of extremely high resistance values without significant cost increase.

Stackpole Electronics announces the release of the SM8035 4 watt molded SMD wirewound resistor. The robust wirewound element is able to withstand much higher surge energy than other film surge resistors. The SM8035, in a 1 ohm value for example, has the energy handling capacity of 43.3 Joules.

The RAVN Series from Stackpole is a thin film based chip array designed for applications with tight tolerance or tight TCR requirements. The RAVN Series offers four resistive elements in a package measuring 1.6mm by 3.2mm with resistance values from 100 ohms up to 33K ohms in a 0.1% tolerance. This part can also achieve 10 ppm TCR for a limited resistance value range.

The RNCH is a high power version of Stackpole’s award winning RNCS series of anti-corrosive passivated nichrome thin film chip resistors. The RNCH offers the power rating of the RNCS0805 in the 0603 size and similar power upgrades for the 0805 and 1206 sizes.

The RHC2512 is a two-watt thick film chip resistor which utilizes special materials, design, and processing to achieve low heat rise compared to other high power chip resistors. The RHC2512 has a hot spot temperature of just under 120C at 2 watts where most 2512 size chip resistors may reach that temperature at only 1 watt of applied power.

Today, Stackpole announced the release of its new thick film sample kits. The sample kits feature Stackpole's RMCF Series general-purpose thick film chip resistors with 1% tolerance values. These thick film resistor kits feature 20 pieces of all E96 standard 1% resistor values per decade, totaling 1,920 pieces.

Stackpole Electronics ASR / SPR Series metal film resistors are designed to withstand high voltage pulses. The pulse voltage capability ranges from 1KV for low resistance values in the ¼ watt size up to 10KV for higher resistance values in the mini ½ watt and 1 watt sizes. In addition, these resistors can withstand thousands of pulses of this type even up to several seconds in duration without significant resistance shift.

Stackpole Electronics, Inc's discrete (ESD Series) and array (ESA Series) suppression devices are ideal for ESD protection of high speed communications ports such as USB 2.0. These products offer capacitance as low as 0.01pF, which preserves signal integrity even up to data rates approaching 5GHz. Like other gap type devices, the ESD and ESA have very low leakage current.

Stackpole Electronics, Inc. announced the addition of 1% tolerance to the popular RPC Series of thick film high pulse withstanding chip resistors. Previously this series was only available down to 5% tolerance due to the elimination of the calibration laser trim. Through proprietary materials and processing, Stackpole is now able to offer 1% accuracy with only minor sacrifices to the pulse power handling of the product.

The HVC Series thick film high voltage chip resistors from Stackpole are designed to operate and withstand extremely high voltages which would destroy other standard and medium voltage resistors. The high resistance values in the HVC Series in standard chip sizes of 1206 and larger are rated for voltage handling above 15KV, and the 3512 size chip can withstand up to 40KV transients. This means that even repetitive ESD surges of 15KV will not sign...

Stackpole’s SWT and EWT Series are high power tubular wirewounds that can be customized to fit many different applications. Along with the standard sizes, these two series can be provided with non-standard core sizes, adjustable center taps, non-inductive windings, different size mounting brackets, and different tab connectors. Many high power resistor applications require a resistor to fit into a fixed enclosure, housing, or space within anoth...

Stackpole announces the release of its aluminum housed low profile wirewounds, the MHL Series. Available in power ratings from 60 watts up to 1000 watts, this series offers a high power wirewound solution that is typically less than half the height of traditional aluminum housed wirewounds. This product has standard lead wire terminations coming out of one end, and can also be provided with leads coming out of opposite ends or with quick connec...
