High voltage resistors

The HVC Series thick film high voltage chip resistors from Stackpole are designed to operate and withstand extremely high voltages – above 15 KV in standard chip sizes of 1206 and larger, or up to 40 KV for the 3512 size chip. The HVC Series uses a unique direct deposition onto the substrate, which allows for the highest resistance values and highest voltage handling with typically very little laser trim calibration needed, the company says. The available resistance values for the HVC range from around 10K ohms up to 50 Gigohms.
