INTRODUCTION
Any 6-digit value available within the resistance range
with tight tolerances (to 0.01%).
The VRM style is a miniaturized version of the now
famous S102C. It is made with a Bulk Metal
®
Foil
element so it retains all of the inherent performance of
foil resistors. It does not, however, have the value range,
power rating, TCR orlead spacing of the S102C. It is a
size for size replacement for certain wirewounds and finds
application in situations where size constraints dictate the
use of this miniature precision resistor.
Our Application Engineering Department is available to
advise and to make recommendations.
For non-standard technical requirements and special
applications, please contact us.

Note
To acquire a precision resistance value, the Bulk Metal
®
Foil
chip is trimmed by selectively removing built-in “shorting bars.”
To increase the resistance in known increments, marked
areas are cut, producing progressively smaller increases in
resistance. This method reduces the effect of “hot spots” and
improves the long-term stability of Bulk Metal
®
Foil resistors.
