EV powertrain designers face challenges when designing power system controls. General purpose chip resistors typically are rated up to only 200V or 300V where EV powertrains are typically 400V to 800V and beyond.

Designers of power supplies for AI servers face considerable thermal challenges. Due to space limitations in AI server rooms, many methods for reducing heat are either impractical, complicated to implement, or costly. 

Applications such as testing equipment, instrumentation, medical devices, power inverters, and battery management systems demand high levels of precision and stability.

For precision applications requiring surface mount chip resistors with high power demands, self-heating often leads to elevated circuit temperatures.

High voltage applications often demand resistors with high resistance values that can withstand significant working and overload voltages.

Many types of electronic devices now benefit from the higher reliability of automotive grade resistors.

As electronics continue to advance, the demand for highly reliable components is on the rise. Many modern applications also require components that offer greater power dissipation and superior pulse withstanding capabilities, all within increasingly compact case sizes.

Applications for surface mount chip resistors with high power requirements typically result in increased circuit temperatures due to thermal resistance limitations. 

High voltage applications such as EV power frequently require high voltage resistors with high accuracy for voltage division, monitoring, and control.
