RNCP Series High Power Thin Film Resistors

Stackpole Electronics’ RNCP series offers higher power handling compared to standard thick film and thin film chip resistors, and is impervious to sulfur contamination due to the elimination of silver,. In addition, the RNCP does not have any lead-containing glass, making it fully RoHS compliant without exemption. The thin film resistor structure offers all the usual stability advantages and low noise that is expected of this technology. Stackpole lowers manufacturing costs of the RNCP by using specialized materials, focusing on only 1% tolerance and 100 ppm TCR and higher requirements, and using a proprietary high volume sputtering system.

The RNCP series bridges the gap between long-term reliability and low-cost solutions. The RNCP is an ideal solution for a broad range of applications and end products requiring a higher power rating in a limited amount of board space. It is an outstanding choice for all types of power systems, controls, industrial and commercial automation, and various types of low torque motor controls. It is well suited for UPS devices and equipment and backup power systems, audio applications, high speed communication, thermostats and HVAC, metering, monitoring, detection, avionics, and instrumentation. Arguably the greatest application for the RNCP is in high sulfur applications where long-term reliability is critical. The anti-sulfur properties make the RNCP a great solution for various types of automotive, industrial, and heavy equipment applications.
