DESCRIPTION
APPLICATIONS
A homogeneous film of metal alloy is deposited on a high 
 All general purpose applications
grade ceramic body. After a helical groove has been cut in 
the resistive layer, tinned connecting wires of electrolytic 
copper are welded to the end-caps. The resistors are coated 
with lacquer which provides electrical, mechanical, and 
climatic protection. Four or five color code rings designate 
the resistance value and tolerance according to IEC 60062. 
Suitable replacements for MRS16 and MRS25 are 
MBA/SMA 0204 and MBB/SMA 0207 professional.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The power dissipation on the resistor generates a temperature rise against the local ambient, depending on the heat flow 
support of the printed-circuit board (thermal resistance). The rated dissipation applies only if the permitted film temperature is 
not exceeded. Furthermore, a high level of ambient temperature or of power dissipation may raise the temperature of the solder 
joint, hence special solder alloys or board materials may be required to maintain the reliability of the assembly. 
These resistors do not feature a limited lifetime when operated within the permissible limits. However, resistance value drift 
increasing over operating time may result in exceeding a limit acceptable to the specific application, thereby establishing a 
functional lifetime. The designer may estimate the performance of the particular resistor application or set certain load and 
temperature limits in order to maintain a desired stability.
