Convex Chip Resistor Arrays Lower Total Component Cost

The RAVF Series convex thick film chip-resistor arrays offer a wide variety of sizes, power ratings, and schematics to accommodate the amount of board space required for designs. According to the company, the most significant benefit to using chip arrays is the lower total acquisition cost per resistor. Another advantage is the resistors in a chip array will have tolerance and TCR tracking that is 50% better than discrete chips. Pricing for the RAVF Series varies from $0.004 each to $.058 each in full reel quantities. STACKPOLE ELECTRONICS INC., Raleigh, NC. (888) 734-7347.
