Bourns' Model CR-PF series ultra-low lead content thick film chip resistors are RoHS compliant without exemptions and offer a higher level of environmental consciousness for general purpose applications in the consumer, industrial, and telecommunication markets. The new resistors help strengthen the already broad range of surface mount chip resistors offered by Bourns.

The Bourns Model CR-PF resistors are made using thick film elements, printed onto a ceramic substrate and are compatible with all soldering processes. They are available in four different footprints from small 0402 (1050 Metric) up to 1206 (3116 Metric). The rated powers are from 1/16 watt to 1/4 watt with a resistance range from 1 ohm to 10 megohms.

This new family complements the other circuit conditioning components that Bourns offers such as power inductors, rectifier diodes, and Zener diodes.
