Rugged Terminations
This is one of TE Connectivity’s most popular ranges and is available with cermet
resistance elements. This choice means that components offer excellent electrical and
thermal stability, reliability, low noise and long life which makes them most suitable for the
majority of professional applications.
The MC Series is used in the Tornado Project and is the standard single turn general
purpose panel control used for most military applications in the UK and in Europe.
