Original Press Release:
IRC'S Low Value Chip Resistors Feature Wide Resistance Range in a Full Range of Sizes Including 0402, 0603 and 0805
Chip resistors require minimal board space in handheld battery-powered devices...
LAS VEGAS, NV (May 14, 2007) - Providing design engineers with a broader range of chip sizes to comply with reduced printed circuit board space, TT electronics IRC Advanced Film Division has extended its low resistance value chip resistor product line. Designated the LVC Series, the resistors are now available in 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206, 2010 and 2512 package sizes.
According to Steve Wade, director of sales and marketing for IRC's Advanced Film Division, the smaller components are ideal for applications where printed circuit board space is at a premium. "Providing the LVC Series chip resistors in the smaller chip sizes makes the devices ideal for low current battery powered devices," said Wade. "The resistors feature an ultra-low resistance value, making them ideal for current sensing in portable computers, disk drives and handheld communications devices, including cell phones and PDAs."
Additional applications for the LVC Series chip resistors include overcurrent protection, voltage regulator modules (VRM), DC/DC converters, battery pack chargers and switching power supplies.
Available in 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206, 2010 and 2512 package sizes, the LVC Series resistors feature power ratings of 1/16W, 1/10W, 1/8W, ¼W, ¾W and 1W, respectively. Resistance values range from 3mW to 1W, with tolerances to ±1%. TCRs range to ±100ppm/°C and operating temperature range is -55°C to +155°C.
Pricing for the 0805 LVC Series chip resistors is $0.175 each in quantities of 10K pieces. Lead time is from stock to 8 weeks.
