Bourns RF Power Resistors

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Bourns® RF Power Resistors and Terminations brochure provides a comprehensive guide to their range of products, including flange-mounted and surface mount chips. These components are designed for use in high-frequency applications such as broadcast, GSM, WCDMA, and WiMAX transmitters.
Installation Guidelines: Flange-mounted products should be bolted onto a heat sink with thermal grease applied to ensure optimal heat transfer. The recommended torque for screws is 0.6 Nm. The temperature on the flange should not exceed 110 °C, and the chip surface should not exceed 180 °C. For chips without a flange, reflow onto a PCB or flange is necessary, with PCB temperatures not exceeding 100 °C at full load.
Product Features: The resistors offer a wide range of chip sizes and power ratings, with excellent return loss over frequencies up to 9 GHz. They are suitable for applications such as combiners, filters, dividers, and couplers.
Product Selection Guide: The brochure lists various models with specifications including power, frequency, VSWR, substrate material, resistance values, and capacitance. Models like CHF3020, CHF5225, and CHF9838 are highlighted for different applications.
Available Packages: Detailed dimensions for flange-mounted and surface mount chips are provided, categorized by style and model. This includes single-hole, two-hole, and four-hole flange styles, as well as surface mount chips with PCB terminals or external leads.
Ordering Information: The brochure explains the product class, package size, substrate material, application, resistance value, and finish options for ordering. Examples of model numbers and their configurations are provided.
Contact Information: A list of worldwide sales offices and technical assistance contacts is included for customer support and inquiries.
Disclaimer: Specifications are subject to change, and customers are advised to verify device performance in their specific applications.

Bourns® RF Power Resistors and Terminations P roducts which are delivered as flange mounted (see How to Order) should be bolted onto a heat sink, (see Figure 1) making sure that thermal grease is applied to the bottom of the flange before installation. Both the flange and heat sink should be perfectly dry and clean of any oxidants before the grease is brushed on. The thermal Chip grease will have a high thermal TF conductivity and will facilitate the passage of heat between the power resistor and the heat sink by improving the contact between the two surface Flange areas. Bourns recommends a...
