Surface mount resistors leverage metal foil on ceramic technology
Stephen Law
Electronics ceramic MFC resistors TechnologyTT ELECTRONICS MFC series Metal Foil Chip (MFC) resistors uses metal foil on ceramic technology, which combines the heat spreading properties of a ceramic substrate with the surge tolerance of a bulk metal alloy resistance element. This, in turn, offers lower self-heating levels than thick-film or metal strip resistors and better surge tolerance than thick-film options, making these resistors particularly well-suited for automotive, industrial, and medical applications. Devices minimize the use of pcb area, free up error budget to allow relaxed precision requirements elsewhere in the design, and ultimately enhance product reliability. Available in six sizes from 0402 to 2512, products offer a broad range of milli-ohm options, from 2 to 200, and precision to ±0.5% and ±50ppm/°C. AEC-Q200 qualified.
