Bourns introduces the sulfur-resistant, AEC-Q200 compliant thick-film chip resistor series. This surface-mount series helps strengthen the already broad range of surface-mount chip resistors being offered by Bourns.

The sulfur-resistant, AEC-Q200 compliant CRxxxxA-AS chip resistor series is available in eight different footprints from small 0201 (0603 metric) to 2512 (6432 metric) and offers rated power from 0.05 W to 1 W. The CRxxxxA-AS series has a wide resistance range from 1 Ω to 20 MΩ and is designed for general purpose applications.

These resistors are made using a thick-film element printed onto a ceramic substrate, tested in accordance with ASTM B809-95 methods, and designed to operate in certain harsh environments exposed to high levels of sulfur contamination.

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