Thick film chip resistors for next generation applications

While subsequent revisions of the RoHS directive have continued to allow this exemption, it is unclear whether this will continue next year when the next update is expected. For the next generation applications to be assured of compliance, the use of fully RoHS compliant resistors is prudent. However, finding full RoHS compliant thick film chip resistors that do not require the 7c-1 exemption can be difficult.

Stackpole’s RMEF series of AEC compliant general purpose thick film chip resistors offer all the cost and mass production capability benefits of thick film technology, using fully lead free and compliant materials which do not require any exemption to meet RoHS. 

Many popular values of the RMEF series in the 0402-1206 sizes are now available from stock. Pricing for the RMEF varies with size and tolerance and ranges from $0.002 to $0.04 each in full reel quantities. Contact Stackpole or one of our franchised distributors for volume pricing.
