Anti-Surge Automotive Thick-Film Resistors

November 19, 2017 by Paul Shepard

NIC Components has expanded their thick-film chip resistor family with the AECQ200 anti-surge NRCPH series. The new devices feature sable TCRs of 100PPM/°C and 200PPM/°C, over an operating temperature range of -55°C to +155°C (with power derating above +70°C), and voltage ratings from 150V to 200V.

Extending NIC's AECQ200 lineup of thick-film chip resistors the NRCPH series offers NIC's best performance in surge withstanding voltage and higher power. Increased power ratings, double the standard version ratings, are offered in 0603 (1/3W), 0805 (1/2W), 1206 (2/3W), and 1210 (3/4W). Resistance values range from 1.0 Ω to 1 MΩ in ±0.5% (D), ±1% (F) and ±5% (J) tolerances, in E24 & E96 resistance values.

The NRCPH Series meets PB-Free reflow conditions up to 260°C and is RoHS Compliant without exemptions, halogen free and REACH SVHC 174 compliant.

The NRCPH series meets the requirements of AECQ200 and suggested for use in automotive-grade applications along with a wide range of higher power designs. Together with NIC's automotive-grade low ESR capacitors and power inductors the NRCPH series is designed for use in products such as high-voltage power supplies, test & measurement equipment and industrial equipment.
