Stackpole High Power SMD Resistor Handles Up To 12W of Power
The HPC12 from Stackpole is a high power handling SMD resistive device. It is rated for 5W of power in free-air, but can handle 12W continuously with 400 LFM air movement on standard recommended solder pads with no heat sink needed. The unique housing for the HPC12 provides outstanding heat transfer to the ambient air from the thick film element. The terminals are attached with high-temperature solder and can withstand a full minute in a 300°C bath with no degradation. In addition, the HPC12 can withstand surges of over 2000W for pulse durations of less than 10 microseconds.
Stackpole’s Director of Marketing, Kory Schroeder states, "the HPC series offers a higher power rating than previously thought possible in an SMD device. It can be used with or without air movement and forces much less heat into the PCB compared to other power resistors of this size."
The HPC12 is well suited for a wide variety of industrial and commercial power supply applications, motor controls, aircraft and aerospace, remote telecom and datacom power systems, test systems for power controls and power IC’s, petroleum exploration equipment, and mining equipment, medical grade monitors, remote sensing, and wind measurement systems.
The HPC12 is available in tape and reel packaging in 200 piece quantities. Pricing varies with tolerance and resistance value and ranges from $1.20 to $1.75 each in minimum quantities.
