SMT Resistors feature environmentally safe design.
Press Release Summary:
Ranging from 1 W to 2 kW, Series APX-CS Aluminum Nitride Resistors feature metal center stripe on backplane to optimize thermal conductivity through to customer's groundplane. Stripe is electrically isolated from wrapped terminals. Standard case sizes include 0805, 1206, 2010, 2512, 2525, and 3725.
Original Press Release:
New IMS "CS" Series High Power AlN Resistors Combine Robust Performance with a 'Green' Material
Portsmouth, Rhode Island, USA - International Manufacturing Services, Inc. (IMS), a leading manufacturer and supplier of high quality thick film resistors, terminations and attenuators to the electronics industry, announces the release of the APX-CS series Aluminum Nitride resistors. These SMT devices feature a metal Center Stripe on the backplane to improve thermal conductivity through to the customer's groundplane, thus enhancing power capacity. The stripe is electrically isolated from either of the wrapped terminals.
This design provides significant advantages to manufacturers of power supplies, two-way radios, industrial instruments, communications equipment and other systems that require high power dissipation, coupled with an environmentally safe solution. Enhanced performance can now be achieved without sacrificing real estate or employing a potentially hazardous substance.
Standard resistor case sizes include 0805, 1206, 2010, 2512, 2525 and 3725. Larger sizes are available per customer specification. IMS product examples include, but are not limited to: AP3-1206CS- (solderable), APC-1206CS (with solder coated terminals), AP3-2010CS-, APC-2010CS, etc. Resistor values for these devices extend from 1 Ohm to 2 kOhm.
Since 1974, IMS has been supplying the electronics manufacturing industries with highest quality thick and thin film chip resistors, terminations and attenuators.
