Thin-film chip resistor supplies ultra-stable performance 

Gina Roos - eeProductCenter - 02/17/2004


data sheet  www.niccomp.com

 The NTR series of high precision, thin-film chip resistors from NIC Components Corp. features an ultra-stable, temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of 10 to 50 ppm over a wide temperature range and low noise figure. The resistors are designed for precision applications such as telecommunications, automotive, medical, audio and test instrumentation.

These lead-free devices have a resistance value tolerance range of 0.1% to 0.5%, and a operating temperature range of -55°C to 125° C. They are available in case sizes from 0402 to 2512. Resistance values range from 1Ω to 1MΩ, and working voltages from 25 V to 150 V.

These devices have a nickel chromium (NiCr) sputtered, thin-film resistive element on an alumina substrate. The wrap-around terminations with nickel barrier and tin finish are compatible with established tin-lead and emerging lead-free soldering processes.

Supplied on an 8-mm carrier tape for automatic pick and place assembly, the chip resistors are priced at $0.01 to $0.08 each in production volumes. Delivery is from stock to eight weeks.
 



Aluminum electrolytic caps provide low impedance, high temp range


Gina Roos / eeProductCenter / 02/13/2004 


pdf data sheet   www.niccomp.com

The new NRSZC series of miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitors from NIC Components Corp. provide low impedance and high ripple current ratings across a wide temperature range. This new series of polarized, radial leaded devices are designed for a wide range of applications including switching power supplies, voltage regulator modules and DC-DC converters.

The NRSZC capacitors provide improved performance for applications that use NIC's existing NRSZ series. The new series is available in a capacitance range of 47 μF to 18,000 μF with rated voltage values of 6.3 Vdc to 35 Vdc.

Offering an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C, and a life expectancy of up to 7,000 hours, the NRSZC capacitors can be used in applications that require long life operation in high temperature environments. They are available in case sizes that range from 5 x 11 mm to 18 x 41 mm. Pricing ranges between $0.06 to $0.69 each in production volumes. Delivery is 12 to 20 weeks.
 



Components tap WLAN chip sets


Gina Roos / eeProductCenter / 09/04/2003

pdf data sheet  / www.niccomp.com  

Driven by suppliers of wireless-LAN chip sets, passive-component manufacturers are developing innovative devices and technologies to meet the requirements for high-performance characteristics such as quality, or "Q," factor, equivalent-series resistance (ESR) and small packaging in the WLAN.

Next-generation components for WLAN applications will most likely come in the form of antennas, integrated passive devices and module designs, many of them based on low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology for high performance and small size.

NIC Components' answer to a host of wireless applications is its wide range of low-ESR and high-Q NPO ceramic chip capacitors. Designed for high-speed, high-frequency applications such as Bluetooth and WLAN products, the NMC-L and NMC-M chip capacitors are available in a capacitance range of 0.5 to 150 pF.



Solid-aluminum caps aim at output-filter circuits

eeProductCenter / 02/07/2002

data sheet   / www.niccomp.com
 
NIC Components Corp. has an improved version of its NSP solid-aluminum-electrolytic capacitors. The line targets output-filter circuits for low-voltage and high-current dc/dc converters, switching power supplies and voltage regulators.

The surface-mount , specialty-polymer solid-electrolyte caps feature ultralow equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high ripple current ratings at high frequency. New are an expanded capacitance range and improvements in ESR and ripple-current ratings.

The new capacitance is 2.2 microfarads to 390 microfarads with voltage ratings from 2 volts dc to 16 V dc. The 100-kHz ESR specs have been reduced to 0.005 ohm, and the ripple current ratings have been increased to 3,000 milliamps rms (100 kHz, 105 degrees C).

The parts, in a standard D case, run at 55 cents to $2.20 each in production quantities. Lead time is six to 10 weeks.
