The News:
Vishay Intertechnology announces that its RCP series of thick film chip resistors for high-power, surface-mount RF applications is now available in the compact 0505, 0603, and 2512 case sizes. The Vishay Dale devices offer very high thermal conductivity for power ratings up to 22 W with active temperature control.
- Feature a stable thick film resistive element on an aluminum nitride (AlN) substrate and an epoxy encapsulation
- Existing 1206 case has been enhanced to offer a rating of 2.4 W with a standard board mount
- For improved solderability, the devices are available with tin/lead and lead (Pb)-free wraparound terminations over a nickel barrier
