Thin film precision resistors offer full capability up to 80°C, operation up to 170°C
Automotive and industrial applications may have harsh environmental requirements for resistors. When those requirements include high-temperature capability and high precision, options are limited. Stackpole’s RNHT thin film precision resistors offer full power capability up to 85 degrees C and operation up to 170 degrees C. The automotive grade RNHT is AEC qualified and offers a […]
Improved TCR on thin film current sense chip resistors
Power supplies and current sensing circuits have requirements that are as diverse as the end products they serve. Some applications, for example, need low TCR without requiring low values associated with metal alloy resistors. It can be challenging to find such a resistor. Thick film technology is generally used for higher sense resistor values, but they have poor […]
