Newark is now selling the new ERJPC series of super high-precision thick-film resistors from Panasonic Industry. This innovative product line delivers precision levels previously only achievable with thin-film technology, offering engineers a powerful new tool for space constrained and high accuracy designs.

The ERJPC series delivers a TCR as low as 25ppm/K and tolerances down to ±0.1% and ±0.5%, allowing designers to achieve thin-film precision within a more cost-effective thick-film architecture. With up to double the power density of traditional thin-film solutions—0.2W in a 0603 size and 0.25W in 0805—designers can shrink their layouts by replacing larger components with smaller ERJPC resistors.

Clara Lagomarsini, Product Manager Device Solution Business Division at Panasonic Industry explains: “Many applications - such as Battery Management Systems (BMS), Electronic Control Units (ECUs), home appliances and industrial and factory automation systems - require high precision components. Our thick film technology is a real alternative to thin film implementations. The new ERJPC thick-film series combine high-precision, environmental stability, while offering a new path towards long-term cost efficiency.”

Andy Weatherill, VP Global Product, Supply Chain, Newark, said: “Adding ERJPC to our Panasonic portfolio gives customers a high precision solution. By using advanced materials and optimised structures, Panasonic enables engineers to achieve thin film level accuracy alongside the power density advantages of thick film technology — supporting meaningful board downsizing and long term cost savings in demanding designs.”

The Panasonic ERJPC Super High-Precision Thick-Film Resistor series is available for fast delivery from Newark in North America, Farnell in EMEA, and element14 in APAC.
