Riverside, Calif., Jun 29,
2009 Bourns, Inc., a
leading manufacturer and supplier of electronic
components, today announced the introduction of
two new power resistor products that provide
high power density in a small form factor
designed to satisfy the growing demand for
low-power, space-saving devices. Designated
Bourns® models CRF1206 and CRM2512-FT, the new
power resistors are also RoHS compliant. Bourns'
CRF1206 power resistor is constructed from a
stamped metal alloy boasting an extremely low
one watt of power in an ultra small 1206 size
package. Bourns' CRM2512-FT is a new surface
mount power resistor that features a power
rating of two watts in a small 2512 size
package.
The small package size and low
power features of Bourns' CRF1206 make it an
ideal solution for power supplies and stepper
motor drive applications. Bourns' CRF1206
features low inductance (less than 5 nH) and
resistance values of 0.01 and 0.02 ohms with
TCRs of +100 PPM/°C and +75 PPM/°C respectively.
This new power resistor is also rated to handle
overload conditions equivalent to five times the
operating power for up to five seconds.
Bourns' CRM2512-FT power resistor meets ITU-T
K.20, K.21 and K.45 basic test requirements
within rated limits for telecom ports designed
for Metallic Ended Line Test (MELT)
functionality such as ADSL and VDSL2 hardware or
for telecom line test equipment.
"Bourns' latest extension of the company's fixed
resistors product line provides a viable
solution for engineers facing the increasing
challenge of designing highly integrated
circuitry with low power consumption in ever
smaller form factors," said Cathal Sheehan,
product marketing manager for Bourns Resistive
Products Division. "The company is committed to
continuing the tradition of introducing the
latest generation of power resistor products to
help solve design challenges for designers and
our OEM customers worldwide."
