EV powertrain designers face challenges when designing power system controls. General purpose chip resistors typically are rated up to only 200 V or 300 V where EV powertrains are typically 400 V to 800 V and beyond. Stackpole’s RVCA is a thick film high voltage chip resistor series that is automotive grade, AEC-Q200 qualified, and anti-sulfur per EIA-977. The RVCA is available in voltage ratings up to a 3 KV rated 2512 size resistor with sizes 0805 and larger having at least a 400 V rating.
In addition, the RVCA has excellent performance under industry standard tests such as load life, biased humidity, short time overload, and temperature cycling, making it an ideal solution for high voltage applications in all types of environments and operating conditions. Pricing for the RVCA varies with size, resistance value, and tolerance and ranges from $0.04 - $0.20 each in full reel quantities. Contact Stackpole or one of our franchised distributors for volume pricing.
