Thin filmchip resistors meetmilitary specifications
TT electronics IRC has expanded its family ofmilitary- qualified thin film chip resistors. The PFC Series precision chip resistors now include a 0402 package size qualified toMIL- PRF-55342 specifications.
The PFC Series thin filmprecision chip resistorsmeet all E, H, K and
MMIL-PRF-55342 characteristics. The PFC Series resistors are constructed using IRC's patented ultra
stable TantalumNitride (TaNFilm) thin filmresistive element for proven long life and high stability in harsh environments. The 0402 chip resistors are ideal for use inmilitary and aerospace systems, weapon systems, and aircraft and communication equipment.
Resistance for the PFC Series thin filmresistors ranges from10Ω to
125KΩ. Power ratings are to 100mW, 150mWand 250mW, with voltage ratings of 50V, 100V and 125V, depending on package size. Tolerances are to ±0.1%, ±1%, ±2%, ±5% and ±10%. The PFC Series thin filmchip resistors are qualified to C,M, P, R, S and T reliability levels.

What does the
U.S.military need from electronicsmanufacturing services (EMS) providers both nowand in the future?Which certifications are critical to becoming a supplier to themilitary?What are the best practices formanaging export controls and developing an anti-counterfeit parts program? Providing answers to these questions and many of the complex challenges faced by EMS suppliers to themilitarywill be the focus of the IPC Conference for the North American EMS Industry:What It Takes to Supply the Military, Sept. 15, 2010, at the Embassy Suites Washington D.C.—Convention Center.
Designed for decisionmakers in the EMS
industry aswell as representatives from OEMs, PCB fabricators and suppliers, the conferencewill offer essential, up-to-date information fromnoted experts to help EMS companies understandwhat themilitary needs fromthem, the important steps they need to take to complywith government restrictions, and howto obtain proper
54 | September 2010
certifications to become an in-demand supplier. Presentationswill include insights fromamilitaryOEM; strategies for controlling counterfeit parts;ways to best navigate the complexities of International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR) compliance; an overviewof amilitary roadmap for the electronics assembly industry; and discussion about the IPC Intellectual Property Standard.
Penumbra Strategies President Steve
DeWaterswill share his specialized knowledge ofmilitary and aerospace research in a session shedding light on the critical, niche certifications—fromthe obvious to the obscure—needed toworkwith themilitary.
Addressing the growing problemof
counterfeiting, BruceMahone, director of Washington operations in the aerospace division at SAE International,will share insights into howEMS companies can develop counterfeit parts control plans.Mahone’s presentationwill cover the specific standards
that have been designed for use bymilitary manufacturers and contractors to help mitigate the risk of receiving and installing counterfeit parts.
Counterfeit components are not the only
intellectual property (IP) that concerns the Department of Defense. Fern Abrams, IPC director of government relations and environmental policy,will provide an update on the IPC standard currently in development to protect IP during themanufacture of printed circuit boards.With both the commercial and government sectors’ interest in protecting IP through supplier requirements and audits, the newstandard is expected to elevate best practices in IP protection.
FromLockheedMartin CE&T, Steven Betza,
corporate director of electronics engineering &packaging,will outline a technology roadmap for the assembly industry to identify and plan for the needs of themilitary.

POL converters tolerate temperature extremes
Crane Aerospace & Electronics, Interpoint brand, introduces the MFP Series of POL converters. The first products in a new line of point of load converters, theMFP Series offersmaximum flexibility through its rich feature set and is designed to produce stable power across a wide temperature range of -70° to +150° C. TheMFP Series delivers exceptionally low noise performance, requiring no external capacitors. The highly efficientMFP Series is the first of Crane’s new
smaller, quieter, robust products coming to themarket. Four preset output voltages of 0.8, 1.6, 2.5, and 3.3 can be configured with no trimresistors required. Trimresistors can be used to achieve voltages over the full range of 0.8 to 3.4 volts. TheMFP Series converters are rich with features, including
input synchronization from300 to 600 kHz to sync to the system or otherMFPs, output currentmonitor, output remote sense, output short circuit protection, and input inrush current limiting. With an input voltage range of 3.0 to 6.0 volts, the converters can handle up to a 15 volt transient for a full second in addition to full input over-voltage protection. The converters support input voltages as low as three volts with no external supply. The MFP Series converters will be available to the general market in the full range of screening options.
