by AVX Corp., Fountain Inn, S.C. The electronics industry continues to push manufacturers to develop smaller passive components capable of higher frequency performance. To meet these demands, traditional passive component designs are being stretched to beyond their limits. AVX recently pushed the boundary of traditional high frequency resistors with its new UBR series ultra-broadband thin film resistors. These ruggedly constructed, ultraminiature (EIA 0402, 1005 metric), ultra-broadband resistors are made with high performance tantalum nitride materials. The substrate and cover use the company’s proprietary, automotive-qualified, glass-sandwich FLEXITERM®surface-mount technology, instead of the typical alumina ceramic or aluminum nitride, which reduces the traditional relative permittivity to just 4.4 F/m and helps extend the frequency range to 20 GHz.

Resistor band code recognition may not be sometimes straightforward as it one could expect. IEC 60062 specifies designation and marking codes for capacitors and resistors. It is latest review 2016 (IEC 60062:2016) includes some significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition such as introduction of the new code colour pink for the coding of the multiplier 10-3. This has not been updated in some reference resource manuals on web. Also sometimes manufacturers have they specific marking style in addition. (more…)
