IMS Launches High-Power AlN Resistors/Terminations

Jan. 23, 2008

IMS has introduced its N-Series of aluminum-nitride (AlN) N-Series high-power resistors and terminations. The components are available in 0505 through 3725 case sizes and thicknesses of 0.015, 0.025, and 0.040 in., in multiple termination styles, including single wrap to groundpad, center stripe, extended wrap, or single sided with backplane configurations. The standard resistance range is 10 ohms to 2000 ohms with tolerances to 2 percent. The N-Series resistors and terminations are available with RoHS compliant platinum silver, pre-tinned platinum silver, or wire-bondable gold terminals making them ideal for any application operating above 10 W.
