Chip Resistor (R-CHIP) - Global Industry Market Analysis Report 2020-2031

Chip resistor (R-CHIP), also known as chip fixed resistor, is a very common and critical passive electronic component in electronic circuits. It is a flat rectangular shape, like a small chip, hence the name. At a time when all kinds of electronic products are developing rapidly, chip resistors have occupied an indispensable position in the field of electronics with their unique advantages.

From the working principle, chip resistors mainly rely on Ohm's law to control current. Ohm's law shows that in the same circuit, the current passing through a certain conductor is proportional to the voltage at both ends of this conductor and inversely proportional to the resistance of this conductor. Chip resistors use a combination of materials with different conductivity to achieve the purpose of hindering the current, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting voltage, limiting current or distributing voltage. For example, in a simple circuit, when the voltage across a component needs to be reduced, a chip resistor with a suitable resistance value can be connected in series next to the component. According to the voltage-dividing principle of the series circuit, the voltage will be distributed in proportion to the resistance value, thereby realizing the voltage regulation; when the current in the circuit needs to be limited, the chip resistor's blocking characteristics for the current can also be used to prevent excessive current from damaging the circuit components.

The structure of the chip resistor is relatively delicate. It is mainly composed of a substrate, a resistor body, a protective film and an electrode. The substrate is usually made of materials such as alumina ceramics, which have good insulation and thermal stability and can provide stable support for the resistor body. The resistor body is the core part of the resistor function, and is generally made of materials with certain resistance characteristics such as metal alloys, metal oxides or carbon. The protective film covers the surface of the resistor body to protect the resistor body from erosion by the external environment, such as oxidation, moisture, etc., to ensure the stability of the resistance performance. The electrodes are located at both ends of the resistor and are made of weldable metal materials such as tin and silver, which facilitates the soldering of the chip resistor on the printed circuit board (PCB) to achieve electrical connection with other circuit components.

According to different standards, chip resistors can be classified in many ways. According to the structural type, they can be divided into fixed resistors, variable resistors and nonlinear resistors. The resistance value of fixed resistors is fixed and unchanged. They are used in circuits to achieve specific resistance values ​​and meet the circuit's demand for resistance. The resistance value of variable resistors can be fine-tuned according to actual needs to adapt to different circuit working conditions. The resistance value of nonlinear resistors will show nonlinear changes with changes in external factors such as temperature and voltage, and is often used in some circuits that are sensitive to temperature or voltage. According to the manufacturing process, they can be divided into thick film chip resistors and thin film chip resistors. Thick film chip resistors are made by depositing resistive materials on an insulating substrate through screen printing and then sintering. The resistors made by this process are low in cost and suitable for general electronic circuits, but the accuracy is relatively low. Thin film chip resistors use processes such as evaporation and sputtering in a vacuum to deposit resistive materials on an insulating substrate. They have the characteristics of high precision and low temperature coefficient, but the cost is relatively high. They are often used in circuits with high precision requirements, such as precision measuring instruments, high-end electronic products, etc.

Chip resistors have many significant characteristics. First of all, it is small in size and light in weight. Its size is usually expressed in English or metric. Common specifications include 0201, 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206, etc. These small sizes can meet the design requirements of miniaturization and lightweight of modern electronic products, greatly saving the space of PCB, so that electronic products can integrate more functions. Secondly, the precision of chip resistors is relatively high. Common precisions are ±1% and ±5%. Some high-precision chip resistors can reach ±0.01%, which can provide accurate resistance values ​​for circuits and ensure the stability of circuit performance. Furthermore, its temperature coefficient is small, which means that under different temperature environments, its resistance value changes less, which can ensure the normal operation of the circuit under different temperature conditions. In addition, chip resistors also have good high-frequency characteristics, can work stably in high-frequency circuits, and are not prone to signal distortion and other problems. At the same time, because it uses surface mounting technology, it is easy to automate production, has high production efficiency, and relatively low cost, which is suitable for large-scale applications.

In the application field, chip resistors are everywhere. In the field of consumer electronics, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops and other devices, chip resistors are widely used in various circuit modules for voltage regulation, signal filtering, current limiting, etc. to ensure the stable operation of electronic devices. For example, in the charging circuit of a smartphone, chip resistors are used to limit the charging current to prevent excessive current from damaging the battery; in the audio amplifier circuit, they are used to adjust the amplitude of the audio signal to ensure clear sound quality. In the automotive industry, chip resistors play an important role in automotive electronic control systems. Chip resistors are widely used in electronic control units (ECUs) to achieve functions such as voltage distribution and signal processing; in the sensor and actuator circuits of automobiles, chip resistors are used to monitor and control electrical signals, such as the tire pressure monitoring system and engine control system of automobiles. Chip resistors are indispensable. In industrial equipment, whether it is the control system of an automated production line, or the motor drive circuit, programmable logic controller (PLC), etc., chip resistors are needed to accurately control and adjust electrical signals to achieve automated operation and stable operation of the equipment. In the field of communications, from base station equipment to terminal equipment such as mobile phones, chip resistors play a key role in signal transmission, processing and amplification to ensure smooth and stable communication.

When selecting chip resistors, multiple factors need to be considered comprehensively. The first is the resistance value. According to the actual needs of the circuit, the chip resistor with the appropriate resistance value should be selected to ensure that the circuit can work normally. The second is the power rating. According to the maximum current and voltage that may pass through the circuit, the required power should be calculated, and the chip resistor with a power rating greater than the calculated value should be selected to prevent the resistor from burning due to excessive power. The third is accuracy. For circuits with high requirements for resistance value accuracy, such as precision measurement circuits and high-end audio circuits, high-precision chip resistors should be selected; for some ordinary circuits with low requirements for accuracy, ordinary precision chip resistors can be selected to reduce costs. In addition, the temperature coefficient is also an important consideration. For circuits working in an environment with large temperature changes, chip resistors with a small temperature coefficient should be selected to ensure the stability of the resistance value. At the same time, the package size of the chip resistor should also be considered. According to the space layout and design requirements of the PCB, a chip resistor with a suitable package size should be selected to ensure that it can be properly installed on the circuit board.
