Thin Film Technology Corp. (N. Mankato, MN) - July, 2008 - TFT announced its "NEW" line of chip "Power" Resistors, the CP2512 Power Resistor family of products. These power resistors are designed to tolerate high current and establish a low thermal resistance interface with the circuit board. This lower thermal resistance more efficiently sinks heat to the board, enabling a larger effective area for heat dissipation. As a result, much lower surface temperatures are achievable in comparison to standard chip resistors for the same chip size and applied power. With proper material selection, design & mounting, these resistors are capable of handling 16 watts of power in a 2512 (0.25in x 0.12in) size. These ROHS compliant parts are offered with a standadt resistance tolerance of +/-1.0%, Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR) of 25 ppm or 50 ppm, and are packaged on tape and reel.
