NIC Components (NIC), a market leader in performance passives, stands at the forefront of delivering cutting-edge thin film chip resistors catering to a spectrum of industrial demands. Across an array of over five specialized series, NIC's NTRx family of thin film resistors offers a comprehensive range crafted to meet precision and stability requisites. Thin film resistors, compared to a traditional thick film construction, excel in precision-driven applications mandating low noise, stability, and ultra-low temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR. Each series within the NTRx family embodies these advantages, accommodating E24, E96, and E192 values within specified ranges across series.

The core of NIC's thin film family lies in the NTR series, leveraging advanced technology to outperform thick film resistors with remarkable precision. With tolerances as tight as ±0.01% and TCR as low as ±2PPM/°C, the NTR series covers resistance values from 1Ω to 3MΩ, available in E24, E96, and E192 values and 0201 to 2512 EIA sizes. The NTR series is ideal for applications in diverse sectors such as medical equipment, test & measurement, printers, and POS equipment. For applications requiring heightened reliability or increased power ratings, the NTRA and NTRH series extend support compliant with AEC-Q200 and up to level 3 PPAP support.

In industries where technological advancements drive demands for precision and stability across critical sectors like aerospace, EV charging, industrial robotics, and IoT systems; NIC has introduced specialized thin films series to surmount these challenges. NIC's NTRC NiCr and NTRT tantalum nitride resistors offer additional passivation for best support in high humidity environments, while the NTRN aluminum nitride resistors utilize high thermal conductivity substrates and enlarged backside terminations, reducing thermal resistance. These specialized attributes significantly contribute to the overall performance and reliability of devices, especially crucial in high-power chip resistors where effective heat dissipation is paramount.
