Panasonic’s line of Resistor Products grows with the introduction of two new exceptional components

Did you know that, in addition to being an industry leader in consumer electronics, Panasonic also supplies a wide range of high-quality components that help keep today's engineers and industry professionals on the cutting-edge of innovation?

For example, Panasonic offers a full roster of high-quality Resistor Products specially designed to protect a device from high-pulse signals and surges. They serve a bevy of industries, including automotive, power supplies, consumer electronics, computers, and more. 

What’s particularly great about Panasonic’s Resistors is the fact that the company is constantly adding to it, thereby giving the engineer the exact resistor they need for the project they’re working on. 

Check out two of the more recently added resistors: 

ERJ-P6W Series Anti-Surge Thick-Film Chip Resistors

Panasonic’s new ERJ-P6W Series anti-surge film chip resistors uses a double-sided resistive element to flow electric current through the top and bottom of the element. This unique approach improves pulse characteristics and better protects the circuit. 

Features
• Double-sided resistive elements
• High power rating of 0.5 W
• Excellent ESD properties with resistance change within ±5%
• 1.5 times higher pulse-withstanding capability than previous models
• Meets IEC 60115-8, JIS C 5201-8, EIAJ RC-2134B
• AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS/REACH151 compliant

Applications
• Power Supplies
• Personal computer and laptops
• Power meters
• Automation equipment

Industries
• Automotive
• Industrial
• Computers and IT

ERJ-PA3 Series High-Performance Anti-Surge Chip Resistors

The new ERJ-PA3 Series anti-surge chip resistors from Panasonic feature an anti-ESD voltage rating of 3kV to provide designers with best-in-class performance in a 0603 package size. It also features a higher 0.25W power rating and a low TCR of just 100ppm. 

Features
• ESD Voltage Rating of 3.0kV
• 0603 Package Size (1.6 x 0.8 x 0.45 mm)
• TCR of 100ppm
• Tolerance Options of ±0.5%, ±1%, and ±5%
• TS 16949 and AEC-Q200 Qualified
• EACH/RoHS Compliant

Applications
• Automotive ECU
• Power Supplies/Inverters
• Strobe Lighting
• LCD Televisions

Industries
• Automotive
