BOURNS CR Series Zero Ohm Jumper Resistor 1W 2A 2512 Metric

The BOURNS CR Series Zero Ohm Jumper Resistor is a high-reliability, general-purpose thick film chip component designed for use as a low-resistance connection or circuit bridge in surface mount applications. Functioning as a jumper, it provides a reliable conductive path with minimal voltage drop.

Constructed with a thick film resistive layer printed onto a robust ceramic substrate, this resistor ensures consistent performance. The resistive element is a mixture of metal oxides, protected by a durable epoxy overcoat for enhanced environmental protection. The component features electroplated tin (Sn) outer terminations, offering excellent solderability for secure PCB attachment.

A key design feature is the three-layer termination process with a nickel barrier layer. This construction helps prevent leaching during soldering, ensuring joint integrity and long-term reliability. The resistor operates effectively across a wide temperature range from -55°C to +155°C, making it suitable for various environmental conditions.

With a compact 2512 6432 Metric case size, it is ideal for high-density circuit designs. It boasts a 1W power rating and a 2A current rating, providing robust performance for power-handling requirements in modern electronics.
