Walter from Huade Electronics: Small resistance leads to great achievements, hidden champion in the field of precision alloy resistors
>In the field of electronic components, this Chinese brand has made a name for itself with its alloy resistor technology.
In electronic circuit design, although resistors are small, they are everywhere. Among them, alloy resistors are key components for current detection and power control, and their performance directly affects the stability and accuracy of the entire system.
In the global electronic component market, Walter, a brand originating from Taiwan, China, is emerging in high-end applications such as automotive electronics, industrial control, and new energy with its excellent alloy resistance technology.
After decades of technological accumulation and innovation, Huade resistors have developed into an important participant in the global field of circuit protection and current detection.
01 Brand History: From Taiwan to Global Circuit Protection Experts
Huade Electronics is not a newcomer in the industry, but a senior electronic component brand founded in 1968, headquartered in Taiwan, China, China.
After decades of development, this brand has occupied an important position in the global fuse and alloy resistor markets.
In 2000, Huade Electronics established a production base in Wujiang, Jiangsu Province in the Yangtze River Delta region, which not only greatly enhanced its production capacity but also laid a solid foundation for its global layout.
In 2006, it became a crucial year for the development of Huade resistor technology. The company obtained technical authorization for current sensing resistors from Japanese manufacturers and began to vigorously develop resistor components, successfully obtaining certifications from multiple well-known manufacturers.
With the continuous changes in market demand, Huade Electronics continues to invest in research and development, and has successively launched various series of alloy resistor products.
02 Technical Advantage: Core Competitiveness of Huade Alloy Resistors
High precision and low resistance coexist
Huade Electronics has successfully developed and achieved mass production of surface mount ceramic metal foil 2W precision alloy resistors (CSR), and can provide the minimum 0201 package size specification.
To meet the design requirements of different circuit boards, Huade alloy resistors have been developed and mass-produced in full volume and series from 0201 to 5931.
This small-sized CSR can replace large-sized CSR that occupies a relatively large space, effectively saving circuit board space.
The Huade MSH series pure metal process resistors can achieve full resistance coverage (0.5m Ω~0.5 Ω) with an accuracy of ± 0.01%, meeting the needs of high-precision scenarios such as medical equipment and precision measuring instruments.
Excellent temperature characteristics and stability
The temperature coefficient (TCR) is one of the key indicators for measuring resistance performance. The TCR of Huade resistors is usually ± 50ppm/℃, and some products can even be as low as ± 10ppm/℃.
This means that the resistance value can remain highly stable within a wide temperature range of 55 ℃ to+150 ℃.
For example, the working temperature range of STE0603MW50R010F alloy resistor is 55 ℃~170 ℃, which is suitable for environments with large temperature changes.
High frequency performance and low inductance design
The structure of the Huade alloy resistor is carefully crafted with ceramic metal foil and constantan or manganese copper resistor elements. Its resistor has low inductance (H<5.0nH) and low electric couple effect (EMF<0.5uV/℃) at a high frequency of 1GHz.
This characteristic makes it perform excellently in high-frequency circuits and will not affect signal integrity due to inductance effects.
High power density and durability
Huade resistors use thick film technology and multi-layer structure design, with a power range covering 0.2W to 12W.
Some products (such as MSH series) can reach up to 3W, meeting the requirements of high load circuits.
High power density is another highlight of Huade resistors. Taking STE0603MW50R010F as an example, a power capacity of 0.5W can be achieved in the small-sized package of 0603, which is particularly suitable for applications with limited space.
03 Product Series: Solutions to Meet Diverse Needs
Huade Resistors has launched multiple characteristic product series for different application scenarios:
MSH series: High power resistors made of pure metal process, with a resistance range of 0.0005 Ω to 0.5 Ω and a power of 1W to 3W. The package sizes include 1206 and 2512.
MSTC/MHTC series: ultra-thin low resistance resistors with a resistance range of 0.001 Ω to 0.02 Ω, power of 0.2W to 1W, and package sizes from 0201 to 1206.
