IRC Extends Qualification for MIL-PRF-55342 R Level Resistors
Thick film resistors deployed in weapon systems, aircraft and communication equipment
CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (October 8, 2009) - Providing design engineers with a complete range of military-qualified, DSCC-approved components, TT electronics IRC has extended the qualified resistance range of its thick film MIL-PRF-55342 R level resistors. The TMC Series resistors are now qualified from 1W to 10MW for the 1206 style; and 1W to 15MW for the 2010 and 2512 package sizes.
"Extending the resistance range not only allows us to conform to all DSCC qualifications, but we are now better able to meet all of our customers' application-specific requirements," said Gary Bleasdell, director of IRC's thick film business unit. "Due to the extended resistance range and proven reliability of the resistors, the TMC Series devices are being specified for use in a number of high reliability applications, including military and aerospace systems, weapon systems, and aircraft and communication equipment."
The TMC Series thick film military chip resistors are available in 1206 Mil/7, 2010 Mil/8, and 2512 Mil/9 package sizes. Power rating for the resistors is 250mW for the 1206 chip, 800mW for the 2010 resistor and 1000mW for the 2512 package size, with voltage ratings of 100V, 150V and 200V, respectively. Operating temperature ranges from -55°C to +150°C. The TMC Series thick film chip resistors are qualified to K and M characteristics.
In addition to the mil-qualified thick film resistors, IRC also offers a comprehensive line of thin film resistors military-qualified to S level specifications.
Typical pricing for the TMC 1206 Series resistors is approximately $0.72 each in minimum order quantities of 1K pieces. Lead time is from 10 to 12 weeks.
