Richardson RFPD, Inc. announced the in-stock availability and full design support capabilities for a family of broadband resistors from KYOCERA AVX.

The UBR Series of next-generation, surface mount, ultra-broadband resistors are designed utilizing 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 UBR Series is suitable for use in optical transceiver modules or any application requiring excellent ultra-broadband performance, including broadband receivers, TOSA/ROSA, wideband test equipment, low-noise amplifiers, MMIC amplifiers, mixers, directional couplers, ultra-broadband splitters, and combiners.

Additional key features of the UBR Series include:

• Frequency range: DC to 40 GHz
• Resistance: 25–200 Ω
• Tolerance: 1%
• Case size: EIA 0402 (Metric 1005)
• Power rating: 125 mW
• Operating temperature: -40°C to +125°C
• 100% laser trimming for tight tolerances.
