for Current Sense in Hybrid and SMT Applications
Type CD Low Resistance Precision Chip Resistors utilize the proven
Caddock Micronox® resistance films to achieve the unique low resistance
range in this family. The special performance features of the Type CD
Low Resistance Precision Film Resistor include:
•
Style FC - Flip Chip version for surface mount applications.
Style WB - Wire Bond version for hybrid applications with metallized
back surface for solder down heat sinking of the chip, includes
bondable terminatipedestals to receive aluminum wire bonds
•
•
Resistance as low as 0.010 ohm at ±1%.
Pedestal terminals in this design provide an ultra low resistance
connection pad which maintains the precision 0.010Ω ±1% at the
point of customer Kelvin connection to the resistor chip. The pedestal
terminal with its copper core also provides heat spreading which
enhances the high power handling capability.
•
Thermal resistance is provided to optimize high power designs when
utilizing higher thermal conductivity circuit board substrates such as IMS or Alumina.
•
•
High pulse handling and overload capability.
Low inductance provides excellent high frequency and pulse response.
Style FC - Flip Chip Version is a surface mount version with solderable pedestal terminals for flip chip soldering.

Note 1: General Applications - The power rating for
general applications is based upon 0.5 sq. in. (300
mm2) of termination pad or trace area (2 oz. copper)
connected to each end of the resistor. Maximum chip
temperature is 150°C. Use Derating Curve to derate
appropriately for the maximum ambient temperature
and for the temperature limitations of the adjacent
materials.

Note 2: Thermal Resistance - In High Power Applications where the circuit board material
provides high heat sinking benefits (such as IMS, Alumina, or other) the thermal resistance of
the chip resistor is useful to establish the maximum power capability of the chip resistor in the
application. The film temperature is measured at the center of the resistor element and solder
pad temperature at the center of the solderable pedestal (point X in the recommended circuit
layouts shown below). Maximum temperature of the chip resistor (at the center of chip)
Custom resistance values and non-standard tolerances
can be manufactured for high quantity applications.
