Power resistor handles large surges
The PPC resistor combines the precision of thin film with the power handling capabilities of thick film.
TT electronics IRC has developed a cylindrical surface mount power resistor with enhanced precision It provides power electronics design engineers with a precision, high-stability device for high surge applications, The PPC merges the high surge capability (up to 1500W for 1ms) of IRC'S CHP series with enhanced operational precision from tight TCRs

Diode networks terminate and protect
A series of termination and ESD protection networks provides design engineers with an effective and reliable means of terminating high speed memory buses.
David Winkler, Business Unit Manager for IRC said "The PPC series combines the precision of thin film with the power handling capabilities of thick film".
"The PPC series resistor is suitable for those high power and pulse applications that cannot trade accuracy or stability for power dissipation".
The PPC series precision power resistor is suitable for power supply, industrial electronics and instrumentation applications.
Available in 1206, 2010, 2512 and 3610 package sizes, the surface mount PPC series resistor features maximum power ratings of 1/8, 1/2, 1 and 2W, with working voltages of 200, 300, 350 and 500V, respectively.
Resistance ranges from 100ohm to 10kohm, with tolerances down to +/-0.1% and TCRs of +/-25 parts per million/C.
