Precision Thick Film Resistors come in 4 sizes.

TAIPEI, TAIWAN - November 16, 2009 - Yageo Corporation, a leading global passive components supplier, announced today new RE precision thick film resistors designed to generate superior performance and reliability of precision apparatus. Featuring precision tolerance and ultra-low temperature coefficient, Yageo's new RE series come in four sizes targeting applications in measuring instruments, industrial controls, medical treatment, broadband communication and consumer electronics. Yageo expects the launch of RE precision thick film resistors will boost specialty product revenue by over 5%. Samples have been sent to major customers with mass production underway.

Backed by proprietary materials and process technology, Yageo's new RE precision thick film resistors offer customers industry leading solutions comparable with their thin film counterparts at competitive prices. In comparison with RC series, Yageo's new RE series of 0402/0603/0805/1206 sizes, has significantly lowered the temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) to ±50ppm/ºC while raising the precision tolerance ratio to 0.5% to strengthen the electrical stability of end products in meeting the requirements of circuit design for precision resistance components.

Mr. Vincent Hu, President of Yageo Global Sales Business Group said, "There is an increasing demand for precision resistors in electronic consumer devices. The heat generated in a crammed circuit board has presented complicated challenges to engineers of multifunctional gadgets. Resistors possessing precision tolerance and ultra-low temperature coefficient characteristics are one of the most effective solutions and are available mostly in existing thin film resistors. Yageo has overcome major material limitations through process innovation to commercialize precision thick film resistors. The new RE series will expand Yageo's reach to meet customers' dynamic applications as well as to consolidate our position in specialty market."

Yageo's comprehensive product line offers customers a one-stop shopping option to help speed up time-to-market for customers. In furtherance of business growth, Yageo will continue to focus on developing precision tolerance solutions for resistors in the near future and for automotive applications in particular.
