KOA introduces wide terminal resistor WK73
|
The WK73 wide terminal resistor is now available in size 1206, with the 90° rotated design having several advantages compared to standard resistor footprints. The 3 times higher power rating of 750mW is the most visible and based on the improved heat dissipation through the solder joint. The much higher terminal strength of the WK73 relates to the larger solder pad, while the shorter distance between the terminals results in less expansion stress on the solder joints. |
All the above mentioned benefits combined, result in a higher reliability of the part compared to standard thick film resistors.
The WK73, size 1206, is available in ohmic values from 10mOhm up to 3.3kOhm. Operating temperature range extends from -55°C up to +155°C.
The WK fully complies with EU RoHS and China RoHS requirements.
Amongst other applications, the product can be mainly used in power supplies, control units and current measurement applications.
