Yageo Group, a global leader in passive components, has launched a new automotive "anti-sulfurization high-power anti-surge resistor" - the AS series, which is mainly used in high-power and high-pulse requirements exposed to highly polluted environments, including industrial control systems, converters, inverters, power supplies, printing equipment, chargers/charging equipment, automotive electronics, communication base stations, etc., as well as other electronic equipment used in areas with high concentrations of sulfur gas, such as hot springs and mining areas. Applications in the automotive field include powertrain, engine control units, infotainment systems, chassis, driving information modules, lighting systems, and electric vehicle charging modules.

Compared to Yageo's general anti-sulfur thick film resistor AF series, the AS series has both anti-sulfur and anti-surge characteristics, and has extremely high reliability, which can meet more stringent product applications. According to the inspection of the international standard ASTM, the AS series meets the most stringent test standards and has excellent anti-sulfurization characteristics; the unique anti-surge design can withstand high pulses in the circuit, and additionally provides three and four times the power specifications, so it can operate in a high-power environment. Currently, the AS anti-sulfur high-power anti-surge resistor developed by Yageo is available in 0603/0805/1206 sizes and has been mass-produced.

In order to achieve the purpose of anti-sulfur, some suppliers have launched anti-sulfur resistors with gold inner electrodes, but the manufacturing cost of this method is extremely high. In view of this, Yageo AS series adds other special elements to the inner electrode, optimizes the structural design, greatly improves the product's anti-sulfur and anti-pulse capabilities, and provides very competitive product prices. As the global environmental degradation issue has received increasing attention, following the existing AH (anti-sulfur high-voltage resistor) and AS (anti-sulfur anti-surge) series, Yageo will continue to develop products for harsh environments to meet customer needs.
