TT Electronics/IRC

IRC (International Resistive Company) was founded in 1923 in Philadelphia and was acquired by TT Electronics plc in 1990. As the original developer of nichrome thin film resistors in the 1950s, IRC achieved a step change in precision resistor technology that continues to drive innovation today.

TT Electronics/IRC offers comprehensive resistor solutions:

• Current sense resistors for precise measurement applications
• Precision discrete resistors and resistor networks
• Thin film tantalum nitride discretes on ceramic and silicon substrates
• Thick film low- and high-resistance chips
• Wirewound resistors and assemblies
• Cylindrical surface mount resistors

Serving automotive, computer, communications, medical, industrial, military, and instrumentation markets, IRC provides one of the industry's most comprehensive ranges of resistor solutions. Their TMC Series is specified for high-reliability applications including military and aerospace systems, weapon systems, and aircraft communication equipment.
