Thin film, anti-sulphur chip resistors boost reliability
Stephen Law
Electronics anti-sulphur chip resistors thin filmTT ELECTRONICS APC Series high reliability surface mount resistors have been qualified for use in environments exposed to sulphur-bearing gasses. Featuring stability and tight tolerances, devices are optimized for high precision analog circuits deployed in polluted environments where sulphur compounds in fumes may react with metals in standard component terminations. Validated to rigorous anti-sulphur standards, devices reduce failure in harsh automotive, industrial, and instrumentation applications such as automotive battery management, roadside monitoring, vehicle maintenance equipment, industrial process control, portable test and measurement, and process monitoring in rubber, wine, petrochemicals and waste.
