MALVERN, Pa. — July 9, 2015 — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today 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 22 W 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. In addition to their case sizes, the existing 1206 case has been enhanced to offer a rating of 2.4 W with a standard board mount. The devices feature an operating temperature range from -55 °C to +155 °C.

RCP series 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 (Pb)-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.
