Latest from Stackpole is the RNCP resistor series targets high-power anti-sulfur applications. The RNCP series has no silver or other susceptible metals in the terminations to cause sulfur contamination. In addition, the thin-film resistive element provides outstanding stability and higher power ratings compared to commodity thick-film chip resistors. The RNCP is truly environmentally ‘green’ because it doesn’t require the use of a lead containing dielectric glass, says the company.
The RNCP does not use any precious metals and utilizes a high-volume thin-film process to minimize cost. These features make this series ideal for automotive and industrial control applications, construction and heavy equipment, power supplies, and anywhere sulfur contamination is a concern. The RNCP is available in sizes from 0402 through 1206, in 1% and 5% tolerances with 100 ppm TCR.
