Carbon film resistors are cost-effective option

Commercial grade low power carbon film resistors offer high quality performance for applications that do not require surge protection or precision tolerances.

Providing design engineers with an economical power resistor with high quality performance, TT Electronics IRC Wire and Film Technologies Division now offers commercial grade low power carbon film resistors.

Designated the CCF Series, the conformally coated resistors offer high quality performance for applications that do not require surge protection or precision tolerances.

"The commercial grade carbon resistors are available in flame retardant packaging and have ideal specifications for consumer electronic or electrical devices", says David Winkler, Product Manager for IRC's Wire and Film Technologies Division.

"The CCF Series resistors offer a wide resistance range for devices with power ratings below 3W, delivering high quality performance for general purpose applications".

The CCF Series resistors are ideal for general use applications including electrical equipment, small appliances and consumer electronics, such as televisions and other high-volume products.

The CCF Series film resistors feature power ratings from 0.125 to 3W, with a resistance range from 1ohm, to 10Mohm.

Standard tolerances for the devices are to +/-2, +/-5 and +/-10% with TCRs as low as +/-300ppm/C for values of 10ohm or less.

Maximum working voltage ranges from 200 to 500V.

Typical pricing for the CCF Series resistors is $0.0046 each for 0.25W size, in quantities of 100,000 pieces.

Lead time is from stock to 6 weeks.
