Components: Precision Resistors Offer ±0.01% Tolerance From 50 Kilohms To 10 Megaohms

Oct. 4, 2004

The HVPS thin-film series of high-value precision in-line resistors features tolerances as low as ±0.01% from 50 kΩ to 10 MΩ. The resistors also offer a stability of 500 ppm (2000 hours at 70°C) and temperature-coefficient-ratio (TCR) values of 2 ppm/°C, 15 ppm/°C, 10 ppm/°C, and ±5 ppm/°C. The HVPSV1/HVPS2 resistors feature a working voltage of 250/300 V, a power rating of 0.125/0.250 W, a resistance range of 50 kΩ to 5 MΩ/100 kΩ to 10 MΩ, and dimensions of 0.240/0.320 by 0.260/0.260 by 0.260/0.110 in. with 0.100/0.200-in. pin spacing, respectively. Operation ranges from 55°C to 125°C. Pricing is $6.90 each in 100-unit quantities for a 5-MΩ ±0.1% resistor.
