SOTA ANNOUNCES A NEW SIZE 0203 CHIP RESISTOR
State College, PA, October 2005

State of the Art (SOTA), Inc., a leading manufacturer of MIL-PRF-55342 , space level and other high reliability chip resistors, announces the availability of a new 0203 (.020" x .030") size chip resistor on alumina. The new configuration provides a doubling of the voltage rating, from 15V to 30V on the same footprint, as compared to our 0302 chip. The power handling capability is comparable at 40mW. The resistors are offered with gold, topside terminations for wire bonding, are MIL-PRF-38534 compliant, and provide excellent high frequency performance. Customers may choose from a wide variety of hi-rel screening options, including burn-in, offered by SOTA, or provide their own testing specification. Pricing for the new "0203" Series resistors starts at under $1.00 each in production quantities. Delivery is stock to 8 weeks ARO. State of the Art, Inc., is a leading manufacture of high reliability resistive products for the aerospace, communications, satellite, biomedical, defense and other industries. All products are manufactured in the USA at SOTA's ISO 9001 and AS 9100 registered facility.

SOTA INTRODUCES A CHIP RESISTOR LINE MIL-PRF-38534 COMPLIANT
State College, PA, May 2005

State of the Art (SOTA), Inc., a leading manufacturer of military, space level and high reliability chip resistors, has introduced a compact, lightweight chip resistor line that meet the visual inspection requirements of Mil-PRF-38534 and are ideal for use in hybrid applications requiring the exclusive characteristics. The resistors range in size form 0202 (.020" X .020") to 2512 (.250 X .125"), with tolerances from 0.1%, power ratings from 20mW to 2000mW temperature coefficients of resistance as low as 25ppm, and voltage ratings from 15 volts to 200V. The operating range for these resistors is from -55° C to + 125° C. Top side termination finish is gold designed for wire bondable applications. This Alumina product line along with our established silicon product line offers a complete resistor solution for hybrid manufacturers. Reliability is assured by extensive in house testing, users can select from a wide variety of testing options from high reliability screening to life testing. Custom testing to customer specifications is also available. Product data is available in PDF format for download at www.resistor.com. Pricing is generally under $1.00 in manufacturing quantities. Current lead time is 8 weeks, but SOTA maintains more than 50 million resistors in stock. Delivery on stock items is 2 business days ARO.

STATE OF THE ART, INC. ANNOUNCES POWER MOISTURE RESISTORS FOR INTENSE CLIMATE CONDITIONS
State College, PA, March 2005

State of the Art (SOTA), Inc., a leading manufacturer of military and established reliability chip resistors, has introduced a standard line of chip resistors for harsh climate conditions. The resistors available in 15 thick film case sizes from 030" X .020" to .250" X .125". 10 thin film case sizes are available from .050" X .050". to a .225" X .125". High reliability versions of the power moisture resistors are available in 10 sizes IAW with DESC (Defense Electronic Supply Center) specifications #94025 through #94018. Testing includes Group A & B per MIL-PRF-55342 and moisture testing per MIL-PRF-55342 with 10% power applied. The power moisture resistors are now available with four different terminations styles. Metalization options include solderable, epoxy bondable, and wire bondable types. Construction consists of a alumina body with a proprietary film resistor element for optimum performance. These compact, lightweight resistors were designed for use where the component could be exposed to excessive moisture and/or humidity conditions, resulting in component causing failure. These components are ideal for engine controls, navigation systems and other applications where the circuits are exposed to excessive moisture. Reliable operation is assured by SOTA's considerable experience and rigid quality controls. Manufactured in the USA at SOTA's ISO 9001 and AS9100 registered facility. Additional high reliability screening can be provided to meet the most stringent applications. State of the Art, Inc., is a leading manufacture of high reliability resistive products for the aerospace, communications, satellite, biomedical, defense and other industries. Prices are available on request, subject to specifications and quantities.

SOTA QUALIFIES MIL-PRF-32159 ESTABLISHED RELIABILITY ZERO OHM CHIP RESISTORS
State College, PA January 2005

State of the Art, Inc. (SOTA) has been granted qualification by the Defense Department (DSCC of Columbus, OH) for the new MIL-PRF-32159 ZERO OHM chip resistor. The new specification provides zero ohm jumpers at three product levels: Space level T (including 100 percent burn-in), established reliability product level M and industrial product level C. Military grade jumpers are available in 13 case sizes with solderable, wire bondable, and epoxy bondable termination finishes, and are identical to our MIL-PRF-55342 product. SOTA has been manufacturing the ZERO-Ohm jumper resistor for over 25 years, and has extensive experience with high reliability testing and applications for these devices. Ideal for mission critical aerospace, biomedical, communications, and defense applications. Pricing is under $1.00 in production quantities. State of the Art, Inc., is a leading manufacture of high reliability resistive products for the aerospace, communications, satellite, biomedical, defense and other industries. All products are manufactured in the USA at SOTA's ISO 9001 and AS 9100 registered facility.
