AVX Corporation, a manufacturer and supplier of advanced electronic components and interconnect, sensor, 
Source: AVX Corporationcontrol and antenna solutions, has released the new UBR series ultra-broadband resistors. The ruggedly constructed, ultraminiature (EIA 0402, 1005 metric) ultra-broadband resistors are made with high-performance tantalum nitride (TaN) materials and utilize the company’s proprietary, automotive-qualified, glass-sandwich Flexiterm surface-mount technology, which provides an extra measure of protection against flexure damage during installation, as well as 100 percent laser trimming, which achieves tight tolerances. The new UBR series ultra-broadband resistors also offer a 125 mW power rating and a wider frequency range than competitors, extending from DC to 20 GHz.
Ideal applications for the series extend across the optoelectronic, automotive, telecom, broadband and satellite communications markets and include: optoelectronic transceiver modules, transmission and receiver optical subassemblies (TOSA and ROSA), wideband test equipment, low-noise amplifiers, MMIC amplifiers, mixers, broadband receivers, EW jammers, directional couplers and ultra-broadband splitters and combiners.
The series’ ultraminiature 0402 case sizes measure 1 mm x 0.5 mm x 0.5 mm ±0.10 mm and have a terminal width of 0.25 mm ±0.15 mm.
The new UBR series ultra-broadband resistors are currently offered with four standard temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) values: ±25, ±50, ±100 and ±250 ppm/º C, with additional values available upon request; four standard resistance values: 25 Ω, 50 Ω, 100 Ω, 200 Ω, with the full range of 25 Ω to 400 Ω available upon request; three standard tolerances: ±0.5 percent, ±1 percent, ±2 percent, with additional values available upon request; and two termination options: Flexiterm (Ag/epoxy) plated with NiSn or gold-plated nickel (Ni/Au). Rated operating temperatures for the series extend from -40° C to 125° C.
UBR series ultra-broadband resistors are RoHS compliant and are tape-and-reel packaged in quantities of 5,000 pieces. Lead-time for the series is currently 12 weeks.
