Bourns New AEC-Q200 Compliant, Automotive-Grade Thin Film Chip Resistors Offer Higher Resistance Tolerance Accuracy and TCR

Bourns Model CRT-A Series meets growing demand for small, accurate resistance resistors in automotive, mobile phone, SD card, DDR memory and camera module applications

RIVERSIDE, Calif., August 22, 2024 – Bourns, Inc., a leading manufacturer and supplier of electronic components for power, protection, and sensing solutions, today announced its AEC-Q200 compliant, automotive-grade thin film chip resistor model series. The Model CRT-A Series provides higher resistance tolerance accuracy and Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR) compared to traditional through-hole type resistors. The new series delivers enhanced signal quality and is offered in an SMD package. These compact, yet high power-rated resistors offering accurate resistance levels are increasingly required in space-constrained applications such as mobile phones, SD cards, DDR memory modules and camera modules. Designed to automotive-grade standards, Bourns CRT-A Series resistors are also ideal resistive solutions for a variety of automotive applications.

This latest thin film resistor series is available in 0402, 0603, 0805 and 1206 package sizes, supports lower tolerances from 0.1 to 1 percent and features a wide TCR range from ±50 PPM/°C to ±10 PPM/°C. In addition, the series provides a resistance range from 10 Ω to 1M Ω and TCR down to ±10 PPM/°C.

The Bourns Model CRT-A Series is available now and is RoHS* compliant and sulfur- resistant. For more detailed product information, please see: www.bourns.com/products/resistors/fixed-resistors-aec-q200-compliant-resistors.

A game-changer for IP designers: design-stage verification

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

In this new technical paper, you’ll gain valuable insights into how, by moving physical verification earlier in the IP design flow, you can locate and correct design errors sooner, reducing costs and getting complex designs to market faster. Dive into the challenges of hard, soft and custom IP creation, and learn how to run targeted, real-time or on-demand physical verification with precision, earlier in the layout process.
