Rohm has added to its general purpose chip resistors with the MCRx family .
The MCRS series improves rated power and TCR (Temperature Coefficient of Resistance) characteristics. A broad lineup in sizes ranging from 0402-size (0.04inch × 0.02inch) / 1005-size (1.0mm × 0.5mm) to 2512-size (0.25inch × 0.12inch) / 6432-size (6.4mm × 3.2mm) is available, making it possible to select the right product based on mounting space requirements.
The MCRL series, a low-resistance variant of the MCRS series, is offered in sizes ranging from 0805-size (0.08inch × 0.05inch) / 2012-size (2.0mm × 1.2mm) to 2512-size (0.25inch × 0.12inch) / 6432-size (6.4mm × 3.2mm) ideal for current detection applications.

Compliant with the AEC-Q200 automotive reliability standard, this series meets EV requirements and targets base stations, servers andfactory automation equipment.
The products are designated for long-term stable supply, supporting continuous use in long-life applications such as industrial equipment.
The MCRS series will be expanded to include compact 0201-size (0.024inch × 0.012inch) / 0603-size (0.6mm × 0.3mm) products capable of withstanding temperatures up to +155°C.
The MCRE series will soon offer completely lead-free 01005-size (0.016inch × 0.008inch) / 0402-size (0.4mm × 0.2mm) products.
