Vishay Dale RCP series thick-film chip resistors

Vishay Intertechnology has introduced a series of thick-film chip resistors for high-power, surface-mount RF applications. Offered in the compact 1206 case size, the Vishay Dale RCP series devices feature a power rating of 1 W at 70°C with a standard board mount and up to 11 W with active temperature control.

Optimised for high-power aerospace, military, industrial and telecom systems, the resistors feature a stable thick-film resistive element on an aluminium nitride (AlN) substrate and an epoxy encapsulation. Offering high thermal conductivity in a small package size, the series features an operating temperature range from -55 to 155°C.

The resistors offer a resistance range from 10 Ω to 2 kΩ; tolerance of ±2% and ±5 %; and TCR of ±100 ppm/°C. For improved solderability, the devices are available with tin/lead and lead-free wraparound terminations over a nickel barrier. The resistors are compliant to RoHS directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free according to the JEDEC JS709A definition.
