Stackpole’s TMJ SMD thermal jumpers enhance high power designs by lowering the temperature of critical components while maintaining circuit integrity with high standoff voltage and low capacitance.
The E-series of preferred numbers were thus created and published in IEC 60063:1952.
In this paper we discuss the different performance characteristics, the test conditions, and how to interpret the test results.
This application highlight will discuss LED lighting applications and the important non-commodity resistors that are regularly required for them.
Stackpole Electronics' article on the relationship between working voltage rating and power rating.
Even though they look essentially the same to the naked eye and share many of the same process steps, thick film and thin film technologies are very different.
Power resistors have been around as long as the automobile, the telephone and the light bulb.
As little as 5 years ago, it would have been difficult to find a reliable 3 watt surface mount resistor regardless of technology, or packaging.
Corrosion is generally a bad thing. Moisture and metal are simply not a good combination.
