TT Electronics, a global provider of engineered technologies for performance critical applications, today announced the WHPC0508X, WHPC0612X, and WHPC1020X, adding extra-high-power range options to its WHPC resistor series. Ideal for compact power supply and motion control applications, these resistors feature inverse geometry with the terminations on the long sides.
This gives the new WHPC chip resistors very high thermal contact with the PCB and low thermal impedance. As a result, it is possible to support two to three times conventional power ratings for the same footprint without relying on excessive PCB copper heatsink areas. For example, the WHPC1020 with terminal heatsinking copper areas of 80mm2 runs at 2W continuous dissipation.
