The PCAN series surface-mount wraparound thin film Precision Chip Resistor designed on high power and high thermal conductivity aluminium nitride ceramic substrates with enlarged backside terminations to reduce the thermal resistance between the topside resistor layer and the solder joint on the end users circuit assembly. Actual power handling capability is limited by the end user mounting process. As with any high power chip resistor the ability to remove the heat is critical to the overall performance of the device.
