Automotive-Grade Wide Terminal Thick-Film Resistors - CWM-Q Series

Bourns CWM-Q series thick-film resistors are available in compact case sizes (0612 for 1 W and 1225 for 2 W), as well as resistance values ranging from 1 Ω to 1 MΩ. Featuring a wide terminal design for improved thermal dissipation, these resistors are well-suited for space-constrained applications requiring high electrical and mechanical stability, such as automotive ECUs, LED lighting modules, and power management systems. Qualified to AEC-Q200 standards to meet the stringent reliability requirements of automotive-grade components, the CWM-Q series ensures consistent performance across a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to +155°C. These resistors demonstrate strong endurance under accelerated stress conditions, including thermal cycling, high temperature exposure, moisture resistance, and mechanical shock. These attributes make the CWM-Q series an ideal choice for integration into automotive electronics, industrial control systems, and other high-reliability power applications.
