Construction and Quality Assurance
These parts use a thin metal film deposited on a ceramic core to achieve low excess noise and improved stability compared to carbon film resistors. Every batch is tested for tolerance, stability, and noise performance in controlled conditions to ensure consistent results in your designs.
Installation and Handling Tips
- Solder at recommended temperatures to avoid overheating the resistor body
- Bend axial leads near the body gently and avoid stressing the film layer
- Derate power in continuous-use applications and keep dissipation below the 0.25 W rating for long life
- Store components in a dry, dust-free environment to protect markings and cleanliness
