CRCW-HP Series Pulse-Proof, High-Power, Thick-Film Resistors

Vishay's resistors combine high power ratings and pulse-proof conditions

Image of Vishay's CRCW-HP Pulse-Proof, High-Power, Thick-Film ResistorsVishay's CRCW-HP series thick-film chip resistors combine high power ratings with small case sizes, saving space on PCB boards and allowing for a higher number of temperature cycles. Due to its double-sided resistive element, CRCW-HP series resistors are ideally suited for applications where high power and enhanced pulse-proof features are required. The CRCW-HP is available in size 0402 up to 2512 with respective tolerance and TCR combinations of 0.5% or 1%, 100 ppm/°C and 5%, and 200 ppm/°C. The resistance range can be found from 1 Ω through 1 MΩ and a 0 Ω jumper with enhanced maximum current capability up to 20 A.
