Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. announced that its RCP series of thick film chip resistors for high-power, surface-mount RF applications is now available in the compact 0505, 0603, and 2512 case sizes. The Vishay Dale devices offer very high thermal conductivity for power ratings up to 22W with active temperature control. Optimized for many applications in the automotive, aerospace, military, industrial, and telecom markets, RCP series resistors feature a stable thick film resistive element on an aluminum-nitride (AlN) substrate and an epoxy encapsulation.
Recommended: Dielectric with 3X Higher Thermal Conductivity than Cu
In addition to the new case sizes, the existing 1206 case has been enhanced to offer a rating of 2.4W with a standard board mount. The devices feature an operating temperature range from -55 to +155 degrees C.

RCP series resistors offer a resistance range from 10Ω to 2kΩ, tolerance of ±2% and ±5%, and TCR of ±100 ppm/degree C. For improved solderability, the devices are available with tin/lead and lead (Pb)-free wraparound terminations over a nickel barrier. The resistors are compliant with RoHS directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free according to the JEDEC JS709A definition.
Samples and production quantities of the RCP resistors are available now, with lead times of eight weeks for larger orders. Pricing for U.S. delivery only starts at $0.53 per piece in 1,000-piece quantities.
