KOA have introduced the RC series of surface mount test points, also known as "checker chips", they allow customers to conveniently measure signals and voltages at various points on the PCB either during production or in the field.
Available in 4 sizes, 0603, 0805, 1206 low profile (1.25mm) and 1206 standard profile (2.0mm), the RS test terminals are compatible with reflow and wave solder processes making them easy to place alongside all the other components on the PCB.
The test points are constructed from stainless steel material for robustness and feature a tin-plated surface for soldering to the PCB whilst the inner surface is left as bare stainless steel to prevent wear during testing, furthermore the RCT (0805) and RCW (1206 stnd profile) series feature an additional stainless steel cap mounted on top of the test point for increased reliability and robustness in repeated testing applications.
The RC series of test points exhibit a low resistance of <50 mΩ, are rated at up to 2 A and have an operating temperature range from -55 °C to +125 °C.
Key Features
The KOA RC series of test points are suitable for a wide range of applications including instrumentation, control boards, utility metering, automotive, industrial machines, communication equipment and security panels to name just a few. They offer a convenient testing solution anywhere equipment is installed which requires service and maintenance over its lifetime.

KOA have introduced the WU73 series of wide terminal surface mount resistors, this family of resistors offer high power handling, high reliability and excellent temperature stability performance.
KOA have developed the RS73 series of precision resistors based on the more robust thick film resistor technology, featuring a T.C.R. down to ±25ppm and a tolerance as low as ±0.1%, the resistors are ideal for precision designs.
KOA have introduced the TLRZ series of metal plate zero-ohm jumpers which allow extremely high currents in very small package sizes compared with standard thick film jumpers.
