Stackpole Electronics, Inc. announces their HVC series of high voltage chip resistors which offer resistance values up to 10 Gigohms. This series has been optimized for absolute voltage ratings which are significantly higher than the previous voltage ratings. These higher absolute maximum voltage ratings are key for applications where the terminals of the part will be isolated from each other, usually with some type of potting compound. The HVC series also has the capability for 0.5% tolerance and 25 ppm/°C TCR.
