RNCA automotive grade thin film resistors for high reliability

In today’s competitive market, electronic devices demand the highest level of reliability, therefore Stackpole Electronics says it has announced the RNCA Series, a product that is said to set the benchmark for automotive-grade resistors. 

The company says designed to enhance electrical stability and environmental durability, the RNCA Series offers superior performance without the exorbitant costs typically associated with high-reliability resistors.

The AEC qualified RNCA offers exceptional long-term reliability and is both anti-moisture and anti-sulfur. Manufactured on dedicated production lines with stringent material and process controls, the RNCA series can deliver outstanding performance in all AEC-Q200 tests while reducing the expected failure rate by a factor of ten or more.

Pricing for the RNCA depends on size, resistance value, TCR, power rating, and tolerance.
