TT Electronics has expanded its WHPC series of surface mount power resistors to include 1W (WHPC0508X), 1.5W (WHPC0612X) and 2W (WHPC1020X chip) sizes. These are the same size as the company’s similarly-sized parts without the ‘X’ suffix, but can handle more power – ‘X’ stands for extra high power. The earlier (non-X) 0612 and 1020 can handle 0.5W and ...
