THICK FILM RESISTORS
RCWE
Thick Film Surface-Mount Chip Resistor,
Wraparound, Low Value (0.01 Ω to 0.976 Ω)
KEY BENEFITS
• Double the power rating for the same footprint
–– RCWE0612 (1 W) vs RCWE1206 (0.5 W)
–– RCWE1020 (2 W) vs RCWE2010 (1 W)
• Improved thermal performance that reduces the effects of thermal expansion (solder
joint cracking resulting from thermal cycles) as compared to a standard end terminated
1206 / 2010 chip resistor.
• Low resistance range: 0.01 Ω to 0.976 Ω
APPLICATIONS
• Telecommunications:
–– Power management in cell phones
–– DC/DC converters
• Computer:
–– Disc drive motor control
–– Power management / safety
–– DC/DC converters, VRMs
• Consumer:
–– Air conditioning / heat-pump
(inverter control)
–– White goods (inverter control)
• Industrial :
–– Air conditioning / refrigeration
(inverter control)

Notes
• Power rating depends
on the max. temperature at the solder point, the component placement density and the substrate material.

• Part marking: Reference “Surface Mount Resistor Marking” (document number 20020).
(1) Tight tolerance of 0.5 % is available for resistance values above 0.200 .
