They offer superior SMD resistor requirements for: performance in terms of accuracy, stability, reliability, and ? Long-term stability pulse load capability. The cylindrical construction of MELF ? Moisture resistance devices provides an optimal power rating and pulse load capability related to the mounting space. Continuous ? Reliability development has led to improved long-term stability and ? Temperature cycling in lead Pb -free assembly processes moisture resistance, and allows high-temperature operation to + 175 °C. This paper explores why this resistor series has become so MELF CONSTRUCTION successful, and why there is often no alternative to it today MELF resistors consist of a homogeneous film of metal in professional applications. alloy deposited on a high-grade ceramic body. Nickel- plated steel termination caps are pressed on the metalized rods, before a special laser cuts a helical grove in the resistive layer to achieve the target resistance value. The resistor elements are covered by a protective coating, designed for electrical, mechanical, and climatic protection. The terminations receive a pure tin plating for best solderability, either in lead Pb -free or lead-containing soldering processes. Protective Lacquer 85 % Alumina Ceramic Rod Steel Temination Ca
