Vishay / Dale CRCW-HP e3 Thick Film Chip Resistors

Vishay / Dale CRCW-HP e3 Series Thick Film Chip Resistors combine high power ratings with small case sizes that save space on PCB boards and allow a higher number of temperature cycles. Key features and benefits of Vishay/Dale's CRCW-HP e3 Series Thick Film Chip Resistors are excellent pulse load capability, double-side printed design, protective overglaze, enhanced power rating, halogen-free, AEC-Q200 Compliant, RoHS Compliant, and pure tin solder contacts on Ni barrier layer which provides compatibility with lead (Pb)-free and lead-containing soldering processes. Applications for CRCW-HP e3 Series resistors include high and repetitive surge and pulse loading applications, densely populated PCBs, automotive, and ignition/switching circuits.

Notes:

These resistors do not feature a limited lifetime when operated within the permissible limits. However, resistance value drift increasing over operating time may result in exceeding a limit acceptable to the specific application, thereby establishing a functional lifetime.
Marking: See document "Surface Mount Resistor Marking" (document number 20020).
Power rating depends on the max. temperature at the solder point, the component placement density and the substrate material.
(1) CRCW0402-HP resistors feature a single side printed resistive layer only.
