Resistor Line Expands For RF/Microwave Apps

Expanding its line of high frequency chip resistors, the company now offers components for use in RF and microwave applications. In addition to standard and MIL-PRF-55342 case sizes, resistors are now available in 14 standard case sizes from 0402 through 3838. The additions are available with single surface or wrap around terminations plus a variety of termination materials for solder mount epoxy bond or wire bond applications. Component material consists of either an alumina or beryllia body with a proprietary resistor element. Optimized for a 50-Ohm characteristic impedance, power ratings range from 50 mW up to 200W with a low return loss up to 20 GHz.
