RS Components (RS) has announced a new global franchise agreement with Yageo, a world leader in passive components which was founded in 1977. A key product type now immediately available from RS is Yageo’s extensive portfolio of chip resistors, including general-purpose thick-film components and thin-film high-precision high-stability resistors; automotive-grade components; current sensing devices; resistor array networks; high-voltage and surge resistors; RF attenuators; and sulphur-resistant devices.
Yageo is a provider of passive components including commodity and speciality versions of resistors, capacitors and wireless components that target a diverse range of applications across multiple markets, including industrial, alternative/renewable energy, medical, automotive and consumer devices such as mobiles and tablets.
“This is a major global franchise agreement that means our passive component portfolio really steps up a gear,” said Andy Keenan, vice president product management for Board Level Electronics at RS. “Bringing on board a world-leading maker in the form of Yageo solidifies our position of major source of chip resistors and other passive devices, providing engineers and members of our DesignSpark community with a further alternative source of these important components.”
