Delivering AEC-qualified MELFs designed for high-reliability applications

Designing high-reliability applications presents challenges in sourcing resistors that fulfil electrical performance needs while remaining cost-effective and readily available. This challenge becomes even more significant when AEC compliance is demanded.

Stackpole Electronics addresses this requirement with the MLFA Series, an AEC-Q200 compliant MELF resistor engineered for superior electrical and environmental performance, featuring low thermal resistance. The MLFA demonstrates exceptional stability and reliability, with test performance for key resistance values as follows:

• Biased Humidity (85C/85% RH, 10% rated power, 1000 hours): ≤ ±0.5%
• Operational Life (MIL-STD-202, Method 108): ≤ ±0.25%
• Short-Time Overload (RCWV × 2.5 or maximum overload voltage for 5 seconds): ≤ ±0.1%

With its excellent reliability, the MLFA Series is ideal for applications such as audio equipment, power monitoring, precision controls, industrial controls, motor controls, automotive electronics, test equipment, and instrumentation.
