Vishay’s RCV-AT Series of Film Chip Resistors Save Board Space, Lower Component Counts

September 19, 2021 by Hailey Stewart

Vishay Intertechnology introduces a new series of AEC-Q200 qualified thick film chip resistors with operating voltages up to 3 kV in the 2010 and 2512 case sizes.

With their high operating voltages, resistors in the RCV-AT e3 series can be used in place of standard resistor chains to save board space, lower component counts, and reduce placement costs.

The devices are suitable for processing on automatic surface-mount assembly systems, and wave, reflow, or vapor phase soldering per IEC 61760-1
