The new CR Series high-power chip resistor is non-magnetic, qualified to MIL-PRF-55342, and designed to deliver high-reliability performance in a variety of communications, instrumentation, test and measurement, military, and defense applications.
The industry’s highest power 0603 resistor was added to KYOCERA AVX’s lineup of CR Series high-power chip resistors.
Non-magnetic, RoHS compliant, qualified to MIL-PRF-55342, and produced in ISO-9001 facilities, the CR Series high-power chip resistors have been shown to provide high-reliability performance in a variety of high-power and high-frequency applications.
Utilizing a high-thermal-conductivity substrate and optimizing the heat sink grounding area, the new high-power 0603 resistors, designed to allow for the shrinking of RF power amplifiers, also solve common size limits and enhance thermal management.
CR Series High-Power Chip Resistors Feature:
- Proprietary thin film resistive elements, aluminum nitride substrates, and silver terminals.
- They are currently available in eight chip sizes extending from 0603 to 3737 with two standard resistive values (100? and 50?).
- Capacitance values spanning 0.3pF to 6.0pF.
- A power handling capability of up to 250W, rated operating temperatures extending from -55°C to +150°C, and resistive tolerance as tight as ±2%.
- They are also available with non-standard values as low as 10? and as high as 200? and with standard tape and reel or anti-static waffle packaging.
- The new 0603 CR Series high-power chip resistor is rated for 0.3pF and up to 2.6W.
Key Applications
Ideal applications for CR Series high-power resistors extend throughout the communications, instrumentation, test and measurement, military, and defense markets and include high-power RF amplifiers, dummy loads, shunts used for power measurement, and discrete resistive baluns used for impedance matching.
Key Comments
“We’re thrilled to introduce the industry’s highest power 0603 resistor as part of our proven CR Series high-power resistor product line,” said Mohammed Abu-Naim, RF Product Manager, KYOCERA AVX. “These new miniaturized resistors will enable the continued miniaturization of products including RF power amplifiers that have long relied on larger components to satisfy power demands.”
