Bourns, a leading manufacturer and supplier of electronic components, expanded its industry-leading line of high-power thick film resistors with four new AEC-Q200 compliant product series. The new Bourns Model CRM-Q, CRS-Q, CMP-Q, and CHP-Q Series are automotive grade and feature high-rated power and superior pulse load surge capability. Manufactured using a thick film element printed onto a ceramic substrate enhances the four new resistor series' reliability. The features offered in Bourns' new AEC-Q200 compliant resistors make them well-suited for current limiters and snubber circuits, as well as balancing and bleeder resistors in automotive, consumer electronics, industrial automation, power supplies, LED lighting, and communication base station applications.

Bourns Model CRM-Q Series high power resistors and Model CRS-Q Series surge withstand resistors are available in three sizes from 1206 (3116 Metric) to 2512 (6432 Metric) with rated power from 0.5 to 2 watts. The Model CMP-Q Series pulse power resistors are available in five sizes from 0603 (1608 Metric) to 2512 (6432 Metric) with rated power from 0.25 to 1.5 watts. The Model CHP-Q Series ultra-high power resistors are available in five sizes from 0603 (1608 Metric) to 1206 (3116 Metric) with rated power from 0.33 to 0.75 watts.

The four new Bourns Model CRM-Q, CRS-Q, CMP-Q, and CHP-Q Series are available now and are RoHS compliant.
