Farnell is now stocking a range of special flat chip resistor solutions from KOA
Important to design engineers in a wide range of demanding markets, KOA resistors are an ideal choice for designers working in automotive, industrial, aerospace, medical, instrumentation and power conversion sectors.
Among the new resistors featured is the RN73R, a high precision, high reliability thin film resistor, that replaces the RN73 series with improved electrolytic corrosion resistance and higher stability.
The RN73H resistor in the series is designed for tough environments and is ideal for high precision circuits for automotive, aerospace and other challenging applications. Despite their ultra-thin film, these resistors have excellent moisture resistance due to an additional inner protective layer.
The SG73P is an endured pulse power thick film resistor that has approximately seven times the pulse handling capability of standard flat chip resistors. Its special trimming gives it a higher power rating, which means that a SG73P device can be dropped onto the pads of a similar sized conventional part, thus increasing the power capability without changing the PCB layout.
For designers who need to conserve board space, the new WK73R wide termination thick film resistor offers several advantages. For example, the 0612 chip size allows 6x power rating compared to standard 1206 parts, which saves board space by improving heat dissipation. The larger terminals also enhance terminal strength and the smaller distance between the terminals reduces expansion stress.
