The compliant metal terminations eliminate part and solder joint cracking problems. In addition, the SM can operate safely in temperatures up to 275ºC where typical flat chip resistors can only operate at temperatures up to 155ºC.
Applications include:
- Engine controls
- Electric motor, fan, and pump controls
- Power conversion
- Current limiting for circuit protection
- Test, measurement, and data acquisition
- Precision automation systems
- Thermostats
