CTS Introduces New Smaller Size Resistor Chip Array


Elkhart, IN…CTS Corporation (NYSE: CTS), a global leader in the design and manufacture of electronic components, today announced the introduction of its new 0201 package size resistor chip array.

CTS Electronic Components now offers a Series 740 chip array with smaller 0201 package (.085” long x .060” wide). This tiny package contains two isolated resistors for space constrained applications such as consumer electronics, notebook computers and automotive related products. The array style package reduces component placement costs and saves 50% in surface area when compared to using two discrete chip resistors.
