Richardson RFPD is stocking and supporting Kyocera AVX’ UBR Series of next-generation, surface mount, ultra-broadband resistors, designed utilizing proprietary Glass Sandwich Flexiterm technology. Flexiterm is a surface-mountable, automotive-qualified termination that adds an extra margin of protection against damage due to flexure during installation. The use of glass sandwich technology and precision laser trimming reduces parasitic noise up to 40 GHz.
The UBR Series suits use in optical transceiver modules and applications requiring excellent ultra-broadband performance, including broadband receivers, TOSA/ROSA, wideband test equipment, low-noise amplifiers, MMIC amplifiers, mixers, directional couplers, ultra-broadband splitters and combiners.
Features include: DC to 40 GHz frequency range; 25 to 200 Ω resistance; 1 per cent tolerance; EIA 0402 (metric 1005) case size; 125 mW power rating; -40 to 125°C operating temperature; and 100 per cent laser trimming for tight tolerances.
