Introduction

In this technical review, we will be analyzing the performance of the TE Connectivity Passive Product Resistor, part number RL73N1JR10JTD, against a statistical benchmark formed from other components with the same value. The RL73N1JR10JTD is a Thick Film Resistor with a nominal value of 100m, ±5% tolerance, and comes in a surface-mount 0603 (1608 Metric) package. We will discuss how well this Resistor performs when compared with the benchmark data for Resistors in general, employing the given LCR Measurements at 1 Volt and 10 Volts to gain a comprehensive understanding of its performance.

Impedance

This section examines the impedance performance of the RL73N1JR10JTD Resistor, a thick-film component with a nominal value of 100mΩ and a tolerance of ±5%. When contrasted with the statistical benchmark data, the RL73N1JR10JTD demonstrates a unique impedance profile. At 1 Volt, the impedance measurements range from a minimum of 93.75mΩ (at 1 MHz) to a maximum of 94.02mΩ (at 5 Hz). These values indicate marginally higher averages than the benchmark averages, which range between 91.73mΩ and 108.3mΩ at the same test frequencies.

When the voltage level is increased to 10 Volts, the RL73N1JR10JTD Resistor exhibits slightly higher impedance compared to its benchmark at the lower test frequencies (96.06mΩ at 5 Hz and 94.52mΩ at 10 Hz). However, as we move towards higher test frequencies - specifically, at 100 kHz and beyond - the impedance values trend noticeably lower compared to the benchmark (81.75mΩ at 150 kHz and 82.55mΩ at 100 kHz, as opposed to the benchmark's 92.93mΩ and 92.53mΩ, respectively). This performance deviation underlines the multi-faceted nature of the RL73N1JR10JTD Resistor, rendering it suitable for particular applications and design requirements.

It is essential to understand that the impedance of a thick-film resistor, such as the RL73N1JR10JTD Resistor, is influenced by factors such as temperature, operating voltage, and the frequency at which it is tested. As a result, the unique impedance profile observed in this component indicates its performance characteristics under various operating conditions, which provides valuable information for engineers designing circuits and systems where this component will be utilized. Careful consideration of impedance performance is crucial when selecting a resistor to ensure that it matches the specific requirements of a given application. Additionally, it is insightful to analyze how the component behaves under different voltage levels and frequency ranges, as this offers a comprehensive understanding of its performance capabilities and limitations. By evaluating a component's impedance characteristics exhaustively, engineers can make informed design choices that optimize performance and efficiency while maintaining system reliability.

Resistance

In this section, we assess the performance of the RL73N1JR10JTD Resistor, which possesses a nominal resistance value of 100mΩ and a tolerance of ±5%. To gain crucial insight into its resistance performance under varied conditions, we will be evaluating data from established benchmarks and the LCR measurements provided by the component manufacturer.

Through LCR measurements conducted at 1V and 10V, we are able to compare the observed component data against an established statistical benchmark. This benchmark helps identify how well the RL73N1JR10JTD Resistor can maintain its resistive characteristics under various test frequencies, which in turn reflects its ability to adapt to a diverse range of applications.

In the case of the RL73N1JR10JTD, we observe that the measured series resistance values generally fall within the average range of the statistical benchmark for both 1V and 10V tests. When inspecting frequencies between 5kHz and 1MHz, this resistor demonstrates a largely parallel performance with respect to series resistance, closely adhering to the benchmark's average values. This indicates a stable and consistent performance within these parameters.

Nonetheless, there are certain disparities in the RL73N1JR10JTD's behavior at higher test frequencies, specifically when subjected to 10V. A conspicuous decline in series resistance values can be identified from 50kHz to 200kHz, with a more pronounced deviation from the mean value occurring between 50kHz and 100kHz. Between 300kHz and 600kHz, the RL73N1JR10JTD begins to recover, converging more towards the benchmark's average resistance values. However, it is essential to keep these deviations in mind when operating the resistor under these specified high-frequency conditions, as they may impact overall performance and application suitability.

To summarize, the RL73N1JR10JTD Resistor exhibits consistent and reliable resistance performance under varying frequencies when compared to other components with the same nominal value. However, it is important to be aware of its potentially compromised performance at specific high-frequency conditions and tailor its usage accordingly to ensure optimal operation and desired results.

Inductance

In this section, we will examine the inductance performance of the RL73N1JR10JTD Resistor and compare it to the established statistical benchmark values. The analysis includes an evaluation of the component's LCR measurements, gathered at 1 Volt and 10 Volts across various test frequencies.

At an input voltage of 1 Volt, the RL73N1JR10JTD Resistor recorded an average inductance of 2.553μH at a test frequency of 5 Hz, outperforming the average benchmark value of 3.411μH at the same test frequency. The inductance values for the RL73N1JR10JTD Resistor at 1 Volt generally remained in the lower half of the benchmark range for most of the tested frequencies, including 10 kHz, 50 kHz, 75 kHz, and 150 kHz. However, there were instances where the RL73N1JR10JTD Resistor demonstrated marginally higher inductance values compared to the benchmarks, such as 897.6nH versus 598.7nH at the test frequency of 50 Hz.

Moving on to the 10 Volts scenario, the inductance measurements for the RL73N1JR10JTD Resistor were only available for a select group of test frequencies. Within the lower frequency range, the inductance performance was considerably higher, attaining values of 88.17μH at 5 Hz and 84.47μH at 10 Hz. Conversely, as the test frequency increased, the inductance values exhibited by the RL73N1JR10JTD Resistor reduced significantly, converging towards the 1nH range when tested at frequencies of 150 kHz and above.

In summary, the RL73N1JR10JTD Resistor's inductance performance is generally lower when compared to the statistical benchmark, primarily at higher test frequencies. This characteristic renders the resistor a viable candidate for use in applications where low inductance levels are required. Nevertheless, it is crucial to take into account the resistor's performance in other relevant parameters when assessing the suitability of employing this particular component in a specific application or operating environment.

Comparative Analysis

Conclusion

The RL73N1JR10JTD thick film resistor from TE Connectivity is a surface mount type resistor, housed in a 0603 (1608 Metric) package. With a nominal value of 100m, it has a tolerance of ±5%. In our comparison of this resistor's performance, we have analyzed the component data and contrasted it with a statistical benchmark formed from other components with a similar value.

Our findings reveal that, at 1 Volt, the RL73N1JR10JTD thick film resistor demonstrates a consistently close impedance and series resistance to the benchmark, across a range of test frequencies. However, the nominal value does diverge slightly when examined at 10 Volts, with some variations across test frequencies. Despite these minor discrepancies, it exhibits decent performance within the technical specifications provided by the manufacturer. It is worth noting that the quality factor is generally higher and the dissipation factor is relatively low across different frequencies when measured at 10 Volts as opposed to 1 Volt.

Though some discrepancies have been observed in the impedance, series resistance, and other measurements, the RL73N1JR10JTD thick film resistor generally delivers overall performance that is largely consistent with the statistical benchmark data. In conclusion, engineers examining the RL73N1JR10JTD for use in their products will find that it performs adequately in relation to other similar-value components. Nonetheless, engineers should also consider the slight deviations that we have observed during our analysis, especially between measurements at 1 Volt and 10 Volts.
