This slide compares continuous power dissipation ratings of RCA-HP series parts with those of standard thick film resistors of the same size in further detail. As shown in the chart, RCA-HP series parts are specified to withstand continuous power dissipation of up to three or four times that allowed for standard thick film chip resistors of the same size. While a standard 0805 size thick film chip resistor may only dissipate 0.125 W, the RCA0805-HP handles up to 0.5 W (four times as much).
