Stackpole Adds High Current Jumper to RPC-UP 0805 and 1206 Sizes

Electronic circuits frequently require zero-ohm jumpers for ease of manufacture or to make trace routing easier. Some of these applications require current handling that exceed the capabilities of general-purpose chip resistors.

For high current handling requirements with frequent pulse conditions, the RPC-UP is an ideal choice. Current handling up to 6 amps is available with the RPC0805-UP jumper and up to 10 amps with the RPC1206-UP jumper. The RPC-UP is a thick film pulse withstanding ultra-high power chip resistor designed to withstand higher pulse power than conventional thick film chip resistors. Further, the design and construction of the RPC-UP provide reliable and repeatable electrical and environmental stability. The addition of a high current jumper allows a single series to be used for more of the circuit requirements.

Pricing for the RPC0805-UP ranges from $0.048 to $0.065 each and the RPC1206-UP ranges from $0.028 to $0.075 each for 1% and 5% tolerances. Contact Stackpole or one of our franchised distribution partners for specific or volume pricing.
