These chip resistors optimized for use with conductive
adhesives, from TT electronics, maintain performance at high temperature up to
200°C and in applications such as hybrid microcircuits or medical MRI scanners
where non-magnetic components must be used.
The GCR series glueable chip resistors are available in
several variants, providing a choice of industry-standard EIA chip sizes down
to 0805 and E24/E96 resistance values from 1? to 10M?. Power ratings are from
0.125 W in the 0805 size up to 1.0 W in the 2512 package. Planar and wraparound
terminations are available, featuring a choice of metallurgies including
polymer-silver or gold with a nickel barrier for use in various environments
and applications.
Conductive adhesive is preferred for assembling some types
of hybrid microcircuits, non-magnetic electronics, and equipment designed to
operate at temperatures capable of melting ordinary solder. TT electronics GCR
series resistors are compatible with most approved adhesives, and allow a
mechanically strong bond with low electrical resistance. The resistors, when
optionally supplied with no organic materials, are also suitable for applications
requiring low outgassing, such as scientific equipment and space instruments.
