ROHM Semiconductor, based in Santa Clara, CA and Kyoto, Japan, released the "SDR01 Series" of high anti-surge chip resistors on Sept. 10, 2026. These resistors offer a top-rated power of 0.33W in the 0402 (1005 Metric) size, catering to electronic devices facing escalating mounting densities. The series targets automotive, industrial, consumer electronics, and AI server applications. By allowing the replacement of larger resistors and consolidation of components, the new products streamline board space and reduce component count while meeting the reliability standards anticipated of anti-surge chip resistors.
