Partial Wraparound Thick Film
Chip Resistors for High
Frequency Applications
The
ims
RCX PW line of partial wrap surface mount chip resistors is ideally suited
for applications requiring high frequency performance from a miniature surface
mounted chip resistor. The “X” designation in each series is a variable that allows
for specifying the termination metalization. Please see the ordering information on
the back for instructions. The device is designed to be mounted face down on the
circuit board or hybrid substrate allowing resistor element placement within the
same plane as the rest of the circuit. This placement minimizes the effects of the
wraparound that would normally be seen in a typical surface mount arrangement.

Two frequency response curves of
the RCC-0502PW are included here
to illustrate the flatness of the
response of IMS’ Partial Wrap
devices. Measurements were taken
at 50 and 130 covering the span
that these devices are usually
specified within.

The response does not change
appreciably at different resistance
values. Similar response can be
expected from other size resistors
within the PW series and within the
resistance range for the respective
size.
