ERJ-P Series High-Power Resistors

Panasonic’s ERJ-P series high-power resistors offer the ability to use smaller case sizes while still maintaining the same level of power or better in respect to conventional size thick-film resistors. The ERJ-P Series has a unique trimming pattern and high heat dissipation characteristics. These parts can be easily designed as replacements for existing thick-film resistors due to comparable technology and materials with use of better manufacturing processes. The ERJ-P Series has an operating temperature of -55°C to 155°C; with a smaller part, you have a higher solder-joint reliability. Less material means less solder, which lowers risk for solder fracture due to thermal expansion or contraction. Panasonic High-Power Resistors are AECQ-200 automotive qualified.

• Smaller size means lower manufacturing costs
• Potential board space reduction by substituting lower power resistors with high-power solution
• Terminals are made of silver resin (soft terminal), which is unique to all Panasonic resistors, that has a composition for high bending and flexibility
• Soft terminal reduces the risk for solder fracturing from thermal cycling
• Offered in many different case size and tolerances (0.5, 1, 5%)
