The MP ultra-precision surface-mount resistor series from Alpha Electronics offers a wide resistance range from 30Ω up to 30kΩ with tight tolerances down to +0.05% (100Ω to 30kΩ), all in a small surface-mount 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 MP series J-lead terminals provide flexibility compared to standard fixed surface-mount resistors as the resistive element internally is mechanically isolated from the leads via gold wire-bonding. The series exhibits excellent high-frequency characteristics thanks to their Bulk Metal® foil resistor technology, making them suitable for the most demanding precision applications.

  • Surface-mount ultra-precision resistor
  • Moulded package with J-lead terminations
  • Resistance values from 30Ω to 30kΩ
  • Tolerance of ±0.05% or ±0.1% (dependant on resistance values)
  • TCR of ±5 ppm/°C or ±10 ppm/°C (dependant on resistance values)
  • Temperature range from -65°C up to +175°C
  • Maximum working voltage of 50V
  • Maximum working current of 0.35A
  • Power rating of 0.1W (at +125°C)

 

Typical applications for the MP ultra-precision surface-mount resistor series include:

  • Sceintific instrumentation
  • Test & Measurement equipment
