Manchester, NH -
February 3, 2004 - RCD Components Inc., a leading manufacturer of passive
components, today announced its latest ultra-precision thin-film resistor
technology. RCD's new family of BLU series chip resistors are intended for
measurement and control applications in medical, industrial, communications,
portable electronics systems, and many applications requiring an outstanding
TCRas critical design factory. |
| RCD's
thin-film BLU-chip series resistors are available in a wide range of
industry standard case sizes including 0201, 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206, 1210,
2010, and 2512, with minimum resistance values ranging from 4.7Ω to 4.7MΩ
and tight tolerances to ±0.01%. The tightest TCR value for BLU series
devices are ±2 ppm/°C. Working voltages from 15 V to 200 V, and maximum DC
power ratings range from 50mW to 1W. RCD's BLU series thin-film technology
offers designers the lowest and most predictable absolute Temperature
Coefficient Resistance available in thin-film. the availability of tight
absolute tolerance and TCR provides an excellent cost solution for most
applications that previously required bulk metal foil types.
RCD's expertise in the field of ultra-precision
resistors since 1973, combined with the latest in automated chip resistor
production, enables the world's most precise chip resistors at prices
comparable to lower grade devices. The BLU-chip deign features excellent
stability levels; comparable with bulk metal foil technology and generates
low noise (< -40dB) making it well suited for most high frequency and analog
applications.
The BLU-chip series are available with
several custom options including a pulse resistant design, matched sets,
burn-in for Hi-Rel applications and lead free terminations. Now, the
datasheets are downloadable from
