VPG MP Series

The MP ultra-precision surface-mount resistor series from Alpha Electronics offers a wide resistance range from 30Ω up to 30kΩ with tight tolerances down to +0.05% (100Ω to 30kΩ), all in a small surface-mount package. By utilising Alpha’s Bulk Metal® foil resistor technology, they are able to produce resistors with low-temperature coefficients and excellent long-term stability. The Alpha MP series J-lead terminals provide flexibility compared to standard fixed surface-mount resistors as the resistive element internally is mechanically isolated from the leads via gold wire-bonding. The series exhibits excellent high-frequency characteristics thanks to their Bulk Metal® foil resistor technology, making them suitable for the most demanding precision applications.
