The HG ultra-precision through-hole resistor series from Alpha Electronics offers their ultra-precision resistor capabilities in a hermetically sealed package. With a resistance range from 1Ω up to 10kΩ all in a four-terminal (Kelvin) connection design through-hole package. By utilising Alpha’s Bulk Metal® foil resistor technology, they are able to produce resistors with low-temperature coefficients and excellent long-term stability. The Alpha Electronics HG ultra-precision through-hole resistor series has been designed with longer leads to ensure the correct clearance from the PCB is achieved when soldering. It is advised that the resistors are kept over 10mm away from the board surface by using an insulating tube.

  • Ultra-precision hermetically sealed resistor
  • Through-hole package with four-terminal (Kelvin) connection design
  • Resistance values between 1Ω and 10kΩ
  • Tolerance options as low as ±0.005%
  • TCR of ±1 ppm/°C or ±2.5 ppm/°C
  • Temperature range from -65°C up to +150°C
  • Maximum working voltage of 300V
  • Power rating of 0.3W (at +125°C)

 

Typical applications for the HG Ultra-precision through-hole resistor series include:

  • Sceintific instrumentation
  • Test & Measurement equipment
  • Oil & Gas Applications
