Long Side Termination Thick Film Chip Resistors

LINKS TO ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

RCL e3 resistors series are the perfect choice for most fields

of

power

measurement

electronics

where

reliability,

stability, power dissipation, and robust design is of major

concern.

Typical applications include power electronics in automotive

and industrial appliances.

FEATURES

• Enhanced power rating

• Long side terminations

• Enhanced thermal cycling performance

• AEC-Q200 qualified

• Material categorization: for definitions of compliance

please see www.vishay.com/doc?99912

APPLICATIONS

• Automotive

• Industrial

• Commercial

Notes

(1) Please refer to APPLICATION INFORMATION below

(2) Specified power rating requires dedicated mounting conditions to achieve the required thermal resistance

APPLICATION INFORMATION

When the resistor dissipates power, a temperature rise above the ambient temperature occurs, dependent on the thermal

resistance of the assembled resistor together with the printed circuit board. The rated dissipation applies only if the permitted

film temperature is not exceeded.

These resistors do not feature a limited lifetime when operated within the permissible limits. However, resistance value drift

increasing over operating time may result in exceeding a limit acceptable to the specific application, thereby establishing a

functional lifetime.
