- Bourns is pleased to announce the release of a line of high frequency power resistors and terminations. Designated the CHF Series, these lightweight resistors are suitable for use in RF and microwave applications.
Package styles include chip, surface mount and flanged. This series is suited for a range of RF and Microwave applications including high power amplifiers, isolators, Wilkinson combiners, Power Dividers and Absorptive Filters. Construction material consists of either an aluminum nitride or beryllium body with a proprietary resistor element. The devices are optimized for 50 ohm characteristic impedance using special manufacturing techniques to reduce VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio). Power ratings range from 10 W to 250 W with a low return loss up to 4 GHz.
The pricing for the surface mount chips ranges from 0.7 USD to 1.20 USD depending on the size and power rating for a quantity of 10K pieces.
Product data sheets and an application note are available on the Bourns website at www.bourns.com.
