Key Features
- 680 Ohm ±1% resistance tolerance in a 2512 package rated at 1.5 W for robust power handling in SMD designs
- Compact 6.35 mm × 3.1 mm × 0.55 mm chip body with embossed tape packaging enabling automated high-volume assembly
- Thick-film chip construction delivers stable resistance across temperature with minimal drift in power conversion and current-sense circuits
Applications
The MCPWR12FTEA6800 is used as a power resistor in current limiting, load balancing, and voltage divider networks within power supply and motor drive circuits. Its 1.5 W rating at 680 Ohm allows direct use as a series current sense or ballast resistor on 24 V or 48 V power rails. The 2512 SMT footprint suits automated PCB assembly in industrial controls, LED driver boards, and DC-DC converter designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What continuous power can the MCPWR12FTEA6800 handle, and how does derating apply at elevated temperatures?
The MCPWR12FTEA6800 is rated at 1.5 W continuous power dissipation at 70°C ambient. Above 70°C the power rating must be derated linearly to 0 W at 155°C, meaning at 125°C the allowable dissipation drops to approximately 0.75 W. This makes it suitable for high-current limiting or load-resistor duty on 24 V or 48 V rails where board temperature is managed below 70°C.
How does the 2512 package size of the MCPWR12FTEA6800 compare to a 1206 resistor for a 1.5 W power requirement?
The 2512 package (6.35 mm × 3.1 mm) has roughly 4 times the body area of a 1206 (3.2 mm × 1.6 mm), allowing it to dissipate 1.5 W compared to the typical 0.25 W rating of a 1206. For designs requiring 680 Ohm at 1.5 W, the 2512 is the minimum standard SMT size that safely handles the power without exceeding thermal limits on standard FR4 PCB substrates.
Is the Multicomp MCPWR12FTEA6800 supplied in a format compatible with automated SMT pick-and-place machines?
Yes, the MCPWR12FTEA6800 is supplied in embossed carrier tape format, which is compatible with standard automated SMT pick-and-place machines accepting 8 mm tape reels. The 6.35 mm × 3.1 mm 2512 chip body is handled by standard vacuum nozzles sized for 2512 components, making it suitable for high-volume production runs without manual placement.
