The Vishay RCS series is a thick film chip resistor series available in the most commonly used chip resistor sizes: 0402, 0603, 0805, and 1206. Compared to standard thick film chip resistors, RCS series parts have higher surge capabilities and higher power dissipation capabilities, 2 to 3 times the power dissipation of standard thick film chip resistors. The 0805 and 1206 case sizes are rated for 0.5 W. RCS series parts are available with tolerance ±5%, ±1%, or ±0.5%. Most commonly used is ±1% or ±5%. Many industries, including automotive, demand AEC-Q200 qualified resistors and Vishay’s RCS series meets this standard. The series is offered with a broad resistance range from 1 ohm to 10 Mega ohms. Additionally, Jumper versions of RCS series parts with enhanced maximum current capability, up to 5 A for the 1206 case size, are available.
