RFCD and Resistive Layer in Electronics

Chip resistors have a resistive layer mounted on the surface that is protected by a coating. The resistance value depends on the length of the resistive layer and can range from 0.1 to several ohms. Chip capacitors can be single or multi-plate and range in size from 15/15 mil to 420/425 mil with capacitance values from 0.1 pF to several microfarads. Surface mounted inductors commonly use a wire bound structure but flat coil inductors are used at smaller sizes, ranging from 60x30 to 180x120 mil with inductance of 1 nH to 1000 uH.

Passive Components

CHIP RESISTORS:

As shown, the resistive layer is mounted on the surface. The desired length is obtained by changing the length of the resistive layer. The resistive layer is terminated by inner electrode. The resistive layer is protected from the environment using protective coating. End Contacts are used to shoulder the resistor on PCB. The typical resistance varies from 0.1 to several m .

The standard size of resistor is 40/20 mil i.e. for the power value of 0.5 Watts.

CHIP CAPACITORS:
At RF, chip capacitors can be used in the form of single plate or multi-plate configuration as shown.

The multi-plate combination is used for higher capacitance at RF. The typical size of capacitor is 15/15 mil. It extends up to 420/425 mil depending upon the required capacitance. The capacitance range is from 0.1 pF to several F.

SURFACE MOUNTED INDUCTORS:
The most common form of surface mounted inductor at RF is the wire bound structure. But, when smaller circuit dimensions are required, then flat coil inductors are used that can be configured with the micro-strip transmission lines. The typical size of SMI is 60x30 mil upto 180x120 mil. The value of inductance is 1 nH to 1000 H. The flat coil configuration has two different structures: square and circular. The circular structure gives less resistance and therefore it is more useful in the circuit where selectivity or bandwidth is the prime requirement. Generally, the resistance offered by the circular coil is 10% less than the square coil. The drawbacks of flat coil configuration is that it gives less value of inductance.
