    MLFA AEC Compliant MELFs With High Reliability

    02/16/2021

    When designing high reliability applications, engineers are challenged to find a resistor that meets the electrical demands at a reasonable cost. If AEC compliance is required, the challenge is even greater.

    Stackpole offers engineers a solution for these applications with its MLFA Series. The MLFA is an AEC-Q200 compliant MELF resistor that offers exceptional electrical and environmental performance with low thermal resistance. MLFA test performance for the main resistance value range is as follows:

    • Biased Humidity (85 Deg. C / 85% R.H. 10% Rated Power 1000 hours) = +/- 0.5%
    • Operational Life (MIL-STD-202, Method 108) = +/- 0.25%
    • Short Time Overload (RCWV * 2.5 or Max. Overload Voltage for 5 seconds) = 0.1%

    The MLFA stability and reliability are ideal for applications such as audio equipment, industrial controls, motor controls, automotive, test equipment, and instrumentation.

    Pricing for the MLFA varies with resistance value, tolerance and TCR. Contact Stackpole or one of our franchised distributor partners for volume pricing.
