Specialty Resistors
Resistor Networks
CTS Resistor networks are low-cost resistor solutions for standard and custom circuit topologies including isolated and various bussed configurations. Our chip resistor arrays help save space and assembly cost, with fewer placements than discrete components. These leadless surface-mount resistor arrays feature low profiles and can be used in PCMCIA cards. The RoHS-compliant thick-film chip resistor arrays can be supplied with resistance values from 10Ω to 1MΩ, supporting operating temperature ranges as wide as -55 to +125°C with resistor tolerances from ±0.5% to ±5% and Tracking of the Coefficient of Resistance vs Temperature (TCR) available to ±100 ppm/⁰C and contact pitch as fine as 0.025 inch…
Available in a variety of package configurations, containing as many as 48 resistors and 64 contacts with densities up to 750 resistors/square inch, they are well-suited for memory and logic circuits in PCI and LVPECL cards, FPGA I/O terminations, and high density connector/backplane interfaces.
Current Sense Resistors
CTS Current-sensing resistors are well-suited for current monitoring, current limiting, and motor control, including in power supplies, inverters, and computer hard-disk drive, and have been designed to operate in applications with the leading Current Sense Amplifiers. Available as metal-plate and thick-film resistors, these small-valued resistors are available with tolerances as tight as ±1% and resistance values as low as 0.00025 Ω. They feature resistance values with high precision that remain consistent even across operating temperature ranges as wide as -55 to +180°C (for metal-plate resistors). They are surface-mount components offered in various sizes and are RoHS-compliant.
