Metal Film High Frequency MELF Resistor for RF Circuits

A metal film high frequency MELF resistor is engineered for precision RF circuits requiring stable performance, low noise, and superior accuracy. Its cylindrical MELF package offers better heat dissipation and mechanical robustness compared to standard SMD chip resistors, making it ideal for demanding RF and high-frequency electronic designs.

Key Features of Metal Film High Frequency MELF Resistors

  1. Ultra-tight tolerance down to ±0.1%

  2. Extremely low TCR down to ±5 ppm/°C

  3. High power rating up to 1W

  4. MELF cylindrical structure for better thermal behavior

  5. Lead-free & fully RoHS compliant

  6. Excellent performance in RF, microwave, and high-frequency systems
