Industrial and commercial power electronics demand robust resistor performance. When high stability and low thermal resistance are important, standard chip resistors may not be the best solution. Chip resistors with reverse geometry provide terminations on the long sides of the chip, as opposed to the short side terminal for standard chips.

Stackpole recently enhanced their RNCF0402 size Nichrome precision chip resistor, increasing the power rating to 0.1W for resistance values from 4.7 ohms to 255K for 0.1% tolerances and 25 ppm TCR. This improved power rating allows the RNCF0402 to be used for applications that may normally require an 0603 or 0805 size chip resistor enabling downsizing and making added functionality much easier.

The UK Government estimates that tidal energy could meet around 20% of the country’s electricity demands. Despite this fortunate position, uptake of tidal power has been slow. How should we encourage the development of this promising resource? Here, David Atkins, Projects Director at Cressall, has explored how technology can guarantee the future of tidal power.

Advances in elevator technology have been critical facilitators of the high-rise structures that define our urban skylines. However, upgrades in elevator safety, robustness, quality, space efficiency, and performance are needed to support infrastructure development and meet societal needs.Here John Mitchell, Global Sales and Marketing Director atCP Automation explains the importance of opting for the right Surge Protection Device (SPD) to reduce ...

Modern electronics have become more complex and their requirements more precise. For those applications that require low TCR, good pulse handling and low self-heating, a MELF resistor is often the best choice.

Nexperia has announced an 80V RET (Resistor-Equipped Transistor) family. These new RETs or ‘digital transistors’ provide enough headroom for use in 48V automotive board net (e.g. mild hybrid and EV cars) and other higher voltage circuits which are often subject to large spikes and pulses that previous 50V parts cannot handle.

Broadband Microwave Global Models for Vishay Sfernice CH series resistors in the 02016, 0402, and 0603 case sizes have been released by Vishay Intertechnology.

In September 2020, after 24 years, the UK Government announced the end of rail franchising. The goal is to move to a simpler and more effective operatingmodel that improves the transport experience for passengers. In parallel with the transition to the new rail system, what more can be done to reform our railways? Here David Atkins, Projects Director ofCressall, looks at the system change and some of the technologies that are improving rail trans...

An automated warehouse is a breathtaking sight, as reams of pallets are automatically scanned and retrieved for delivery. But not all automation systems are made to endure extreme environments. Here’s how Technidrive and WEG partnered to help Moffett, an automated storage firm, design a vertical lift for extreme temperatures.

Metal Foil Chip (MFC) resistors from TT Electronics use metal foil on ceramic technology, which combines the heat spreading properties of a ceramic substrate with the surge tolerance of a bulk metal alloy resistance element.
