The adoption of automotive-grade resistors continues to expand across a diverse array of electronic applications, driven by the demand for enhanced reliability. These components empower design engineers to achieve superior electrical stability and environmental performance, all without incurring the substantial cost increases typically associated with traditional high-reliability resistor technologies.
Qualified to AEC-Q200 standard, the RMCA series from Stackpole is meticulously engineered for exceptional long-term reliability and offers robust high-power handling capabilities. This advancement in power performance enables more compact designs, increased power density, and the integration of additional features within the same board footprint. Produced on dedicated manufacturing lines with stringent material and process controls, the RMCA series consistently delivers outstanding results across all AEC-Q200 assessments, reducing expected failure rates by a factor of ten or more.
The RMCA product line now includes two enhanced high-power options: the “-HP” and the even higher-rated “-UP” versions. These variants elevate the power handling capacity of a given size by two to three times compared to standard models.
Pricing for the RMCA-HP and RMCA-UP options is determined by size, power rating, resistance value, and tolerance. For detailed or volume pricing, please contact Stackpole or one of our authorized distribution partners.
