These Hi-Meg resistors are designed for use in electrometer circuits
where a high order of performance is required. These resistors achieve a high degree of accuracy and stability, and operate at this high performance level for an extended period of time. By being vacuum sealed in a glass envelope, these Hi-Megs are suitable for ultra-high vacuum applications.
Applications
- Ultra high vacuum
- Medical instrumentation
- Current pulse limiters
- Avionics
Features
- Glass sealed hermetric resistors
- Improved temperature stability
- Metal oxide resistive elements
- No outgassing
- RoHS compliant
- Calibration available
Characteristics
Handling and Cleaning of RX-1M Resistors:
These glass encapsulated resistors, especially those of higher resistance value, require extraordinary cleanliness. These resistors should be handled by the terminals, unless gloves are worn. Fingerprints on the surface of the resistor will attract contaminants and moisture, which will
cause a parallel resistance path, reducing the resistance value of the device. If cleaning should become necessary, use isopropyl alcohol and lightly wipe dry with lint free tissues such as Kimwipes
