Ohmega Ticer™ combines two established names in embedded resistor materials: Ohmega Technologies and Ticer Technologies.
Ohmega Technologies has produced OhmegaPly® resistor-conductor material for more than 50 years. Ticer Technologies introduced TCR® thin-film embedded resistor technology in 1999. Today, Ohmega Ticer supplies both material families for digital, RF, aerospace, defense, and consumer electronics applications.
OhmegaPly and TCR materials are used to create embedded resistor layers through standard PCB imaging and etching processes. Placing resistors inside the PCB reduces the number of surface-mounted components and frees up board space for routing and other devices.
These resistive materials also give PCB designers more flexibility when a design requires passive resistance, termination, voltage division, or resistive films.
TCR® is a thin-film resistor copper foil designed for digital and RF printed circuit boards. It is RoHS compliant and compatible with standard, high-performance, lead-free, and specialty resin systems.
Key benefits include:
- More available PCB surface space
- Lower component count and board weight
- Improved electrical performance
- Stable resistance under temperature changes
- Support for compact digital and RF PCB designs
