KYOCERA AVX UBR Series ultra-broadband resistors

KYOCERA AVX’s UBR Series of next-generation, surface-mount, ultra-broadband resistors has been designed utilising 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 company says.

The series is suitable for use in optical transceiver modules or any application requiring high ultra-broadband performance, including broadband receivers, TOSA/ROSA, wideband test equipment, low-noise amplifiers, MMIC amplifiers, mixers, directional couplers, ultra-broadband splitters and combiners.

Key features include: frequency range of DC to 40 GHz; resistance of 25–200Ω; tolerance of 1%; power rating of 125 mW; operating temperature of -40 to +125°C; and 100% laser trimming for tight tolerances.
