The RCL e3 series features tolerances of 1 % and 5 %, TCR of ± 100 ppm/K and ± 200 ppm/K, and a resistance range from 1 Ω to 2.2 MΩ. The resistors offer a protective overglaze and pure tin solder contacts on a Ni barrier layer for compatibility with lead (Pb)-free and lead-containing soldering processes. The devices are compliant to RoHS directive 2002/95/EC and halogen-free according to the IEC 61249-2-21 definition.
Vishay’s New Long Side Termination Thick Film Chip Resistors Feature Power Dissipation to 1.0 W and High Temperature Cycle Withstand Ability
Vishay released a new series of long side termination thick film chip resistors with high power ratings to 1.0 W and high temperature cycle withstand ability in 0612 and 1218 case sizes. Qualified to AEC-Q200 Rev. C, the RCL0612 e3 and RCL1218 e3 feature wide terminals that enable high power dissipation. Their small case sizes save space on densely packed PCBs and allow a higher number of temperature cycles, thus improving solder-joint reliability for automotive electronic circuits and general purpose applications.
