二、Core Specifications
（一）Electrical Performance
- Power Rating: At 70°C, the power rating is 1/8W (0.125W). For operations above 70°C, the power rating needs to be derated in accordance with the power derating curve.
- Voltage Ratings: The maximum continuous working voltage is 150V, and the maximum overload voltage is 300V. It should be noted that the actual maximum overload voltage is the lower value between the specified maximum overload voltage and 2×√(Power rating × Resistance).
- Resistance Range: The resistance values span from 4.7Ω to 2.49MΩ, covering a wide spectrum to meet diverse application needs.
- Resistance Tolerance: It offers a comprehensive range of tolerance options, including ±0.01% (T), ±0.05% (A), ±0.1% (B), ±0.25% (C), ±0.5% (D), and ±1% (F), enabling precise resistance control in different application scenarios.
- Temperature Coefficient (TCR): The available temperature coefficient options are ±2ppm/°C (X), ±3ppm/°C (O), ±5ppm/°C (S), ±10ppm/°C (B), ±15ppm/°C (N), ±25ppm/°C (C), and ±50ppm/°C (D). This ensures minimal resistance drift even in fluctuating temperature environments.
- Noise Characteristics: It exhibits excellent low - noise performance. For resistance values ranging from 100Ω to 4.99KΩ, the noise level is as low as - 105dB, and for other common resistance ranges, the noise level is maintained at - 85dB to - 100dB, effectively reducing signal interference.
