SS Precision Through Hole Resistor

VPG SS Series

  • Conformally coated precision resistor network
  • Resistance range 30ฮฉ and 120kฮฉ
  • Tolerance from ยฑ0.05% to ยฑ0.1% available
  • TCR of ยฑ5 ppm/ยฐC
  • Power rating of 0.5W (at +70ยฐC)
  • Temperature range from -25ยฐC to +125ยฐC
  • Compliant

The SS conformally coated precision resistor network series from Alpha Electronics is fully customisable and offers excellent performance in TCR tracking, resistance ratio matching and stability thanks to Alpha’s Bulk Metalยฎ foil resistor technology. The SS precision resistor network series can offer up to a maximum of 5 resistive elements. Each resistive element can range from 30ฮฉ up to 20kฮฉ all with tight tolerances down to +0.05% absolute and +0.01% matching (the maximum total resistance for the network is 100kฮฉ).

  • Fully customisable resistor network with up to 5 resistor elements and 5 different standard circuit layouts to choose from
  • Each resistor element is available in any resistance between 30ฮฉ and 20kฮฉ
  • Maximum resistance value for complete resistor network of 100kฮฉ
  • Through-hole conformally coated package
  • Tight absolute tolerance of ยฑ0.05% with an even tighter matching tolerance of ยฑ0.01% available
  • Tight absolute TCR of ยฑ5 ppm/ยฐC (from -25ยฐC up to +125ยฐC)
  • Tight tracking TCR available of between ยฑ1 ppm/ยฐC and ยฑ3 ppm/ยฐC depending on resistance ratio (Rmax. / Rmin.)
  • Power rating of 1W for the complete resistor package (at +70ยฐC)
  • Maximum rated operating temperature +70ยฐC
  • Temperature range from -25ยฐC up to +125ยฐC

 

The SS conformally coated, through-hole, precision resistor network series exhibits excellent high frequency characteristics thanks to Alpha’s Bulk Metalยฎ foil resistor technology, making them suitable for the most demanding precision applications.

These resistors are fully customisable including the circuit layout. There are 5 standard circuit types available to choose from:

  • Circuit layout A – resistor array
  • Circuit layout B – independent resistors in the same package
  • Circuit layout C – divider network
  • Circuit layout E – circuit layout A split into 2 i.e. 2 separate resistor arrays
  • Circuit layout F – circuit layout C split into 2 i.e. 2 separate divider networks

For full details, please see the ultra-precision resistor networks supporting document under the technical library tab.

Pin pitch for the Alpha SS series will be in multiples of 2.54mm.

 

The below table gives the full specifications for each resistor model available including the Alpha SS series:
