TE Connectivity CGS High Power Thick Film SMD Chip Resistor - 3

The TE Connectivity 3522 series represents a robust line of low-cost, high-power, thick film SMD chip resistors, engineered for reliability and performance in demanding electronic circuits. These fixed power resistors are designed for automated placement in high-volume manufacturing, making them an ideal choice for production efficiency. Their compact lead structure not only facilitates easy mounting but also makes them suitable for high-frequency applications, offering excellent electrical characteristics in a minimal footprint.

Featuring a small size-to-power ratio, these resistors deliver substantial power handling within the industry-standard EIA 2512 (6432 metric) case size. The series covers a comprehensive resistance range, including E24 and E96 decade values, providing flexibility for diverse design requirements from current sensing to voltage division. A key benefit is the availability of both jumper and resistive components within the same package format, simplifying inventory and design for zero-ohm connections.

Key Features & Benefits

• High Power Rating: Capable of dissipating 3W at an ambient temperature of 70°C, ensuring stable operation under load.
• Broad Voltage Handling: With a maximum rated continuous working voltage (RCWV) of 250V and a maximum overload voltage of 500V, it is suitable for a wide array of circuit protections and power applications.
• Precision Options: Available with tight tolerance options of ±1% and ±5%, allowing for precise circuit design where accuracy is paramount.
• Stable Performance: Offered with low temperature coefficient values of ±100ppm/°C and ±200ppm/°C, ensuring minimal resistance drift across a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to +155°C.
• Durable Construction: Features a matte Sn over Ni terminal finish, providing excellent solderability and protection against corrosion, which enhances long-term reliability and shelf
