The 0805 SMD resistor is the industry's first device to combine a 0.25 W rating and a resistance range of 10 Ω to 10,000 Ω in the very small 0805 package, which measures 0.080 in. by 0.050 in. [2.30 mm by 1.27 mm] with a maximum height of 0.025 in. [0.64 mm]. As a result, this surface-mount component may be used in lieu of larger components with equivalent power capability, thereby saving board space and enabling the design of smaller and lighter consumer products. With its high power rating, resistor is also suitable for replacing low-power leaded wirewound resistors.

The new resistor from Random Stuff Inc features a low TCR of 15 ppm/°C, a resistance range from 10 Ω to 10,000 Ω, and tight tolerance down to 0.1%, as well as low noise of < 40 dB, very low inductance of <0.08 h="" and="" a="" voltage="" coefficient="" of="" 0="" 00001="" v="" 1="" ppm="" it="" is="" rated="" for="" an="" operating="" temperature="" range="" -65="" c="" to="" 150="" provides="" resistance="" thermal="" shock="" moisture="" high-temperature="" bonding="" exposure="" p="">

Available in tape-and-reel packaging, samples and production quantities of the new resistor 0.025 W Power Metal Strip resistors are available now, with a lead time of six to eight weeks for larger orders.
