The cool operating performance is possible due to the cylindrical shape and solderable end caps of the MLF/MLFM. These parts do an excellent job of transferring the heat from the resistor into the PCB and into the ambient air. This efficient dissipation results in more stable operation under a wide range of electrical conditions which enhances the long term performance of the part.
The nichrome resistance film makes the MLF/MLFM ideal for applications that require accuracy and precision along with cooler operation such as metering, test and measurement, instrumentation, and aerospace. Pricing for this series ranges from $0.031 to $0.53 each depending on size, tolerance, TCR, and resistance value.
