Contributing to its appeal among design engineers, the Ohmite KDV06FR100ET Resistor is housed in a compact 0603 (1608 Metric) surface-mount packaging, characterized as metal film, with a nominal value of 100m and a tight tolerance of ±1%. Still, the real question, of course, is how it performs against its statistical counterpart. In order to better understand its capabilities, below is an unbiased list of pros and cons based on the data provided:

• Pros

Considering both its strengths and areas for improvement, the following sections – Resistance, Inductance, Comparative Analysis – will conduct a deep dive into how the KDV06FR100ET Resistor compares against the established benchmark. As you read on, you'll be better positioned to confidently determine if the KDV06FR100ET is best-suited to your application without sacrificing quality by examining the subsequent technical insights.

Impedance

In this section, we will provide an in-depth analysis of the impedance performance of the KDV06FR100ET resistor in contrast with the statistical benchmark data available. By interpreting the data, insights into the resistor's behavior and suitability for various applications can be gained.

When initially compared at 1 Volt, it is apparent that the KDV06FR100ET consistently offers a higher impedance, as captured by measurements ranging between 94.79m and 95.3m Ohms. This is in contrast to the statistical benchmark, where impedance values have been observed ranging from 76.51m to 108.3m Ohms.

Furthermore, the KDV06FR100ET's average impedance of 95m Ohms at its lowest test frequency of 5 Hz is slightly greater than that of the benchmark's highest average impedance (92.93m Ohms) at 150 kHz. What this indicates is the KDV06FR100ET's outstanding performance when it comes to handling low-frequency applications, as a higher impedance can result in better signal filtering at these low frequencies.

As we explore the various frequency ranges up to 1 MHz and maintaining a 1 Volt input, we can see that the KDV06FR100ET resistor consistently delivers an impedance value of around 95.3m Ohms. This is opposed to the statistical benchmark's maximum impedance, recorded at 245.6m Ohms. Additionally, the performance differences between the KDV06FR100ET and its benchmark counterpart become more noticeable at 10 Volts, where the KDV06FR100ET resistor showcases a general reduction in impedance levels up to 75 kHz. Interestingly, it then increases from 82.88m Ohms at 150 kHz to 91.82m Ohms at 700 kHz, which highlights the versatility and proficiency of this resistor in applications with varied voltage ranges.

Overall, the KDV06FR100ET's impedance performance demonstrates its capabilities in both low-frequency signal filtering and handling different voltage levels, proving its efficacy and reliability as a resistor.

Resistance

In this section, we will analyze the resistance performance of the Ohmite KDV06FR100ET metal film resistor according to the provided LCR (Inductance, Capacitance, Resistance) measurements taken at 1 Volt. We will then compare these results with statistical benchmark data to provide a well-rounded perspective. Featuring a ±1% tolerance, the Ohmite KDV06FR100ET is designed for high precision and reliability in various applications.

Upon reviewing the LCR measurements at 1 Volt, it becomes apparent that the KDV06FR100ET resistor exhibits a fairly consistent resistance performance across different test frequencies. To illustrate, its minimum series resistance measures 94.7m at 500kHz, and its maximum sits at 95.19m at 75kHz. When compared to the benchmark average series resistance values, the KDV06FR100ET resistor generally displays higher resistance, with a difference of approximately 2m. For instance, the KDV06FR100ET measures a 95.11m series resistance at 50Hz, which is 3.02m higher than the benchmark average of 92.09m.

While this increased resistance level may impact certain applications in terms of efficiency and energy dissipation, the KDV06FR100ET maintains stable resistance throughout the frequency range. This stability supports the resistor's reliability and precision within the specified tolerance range, making it particularly suitable for applications requiring stable and consistent resistance values across a broad range of frequencies.

Additionally, it is essential to consider the LCR measurements taken at 10 Volts, which reveal some inconsistencies in the KDV06FR100ET resistor's behavior at higher voltage levels. While the metal film composition aims to maintain the resistor's resistance stability, its response in higher voltage tests appears aberrant, with resistance values deviating significantly, predominantly at frequencies above 150kHz. Consequently, engineers should carefully evaluate these deviations and their potential impact on the resistor's appropriateness for specific applications involving higher voltage levels.

Inductance

In this section, we will examine the inductance performance of the Ohmite KDV06FR100ET by comparing it to the statistical benchmark of other components with the same value. The inductance measurements for the component will be evaluated at both 1 Volt and 10 Volts, allowing for a thorough investigation of its behavior under varying voltage levels.

At 1 Volt, the KDV06FR100ET exhibits a series inductance value of 3.678μ Henries at a test frequency of 5Hz, compared to the statistical benchmark average of 3.411μ Henries. This indicates that the KDV06FR100ET has a slightly higher inductance than the average component at this frequency. A similar pattern is observed at the test frequency of 10Hz, where the KDV06FR100ET registers 868.7n Henries, compared to the statistical benchmark of 868.9n Henries. As the frequency increases, the inductance values decrease for both, which is reflective of a typical inductance-frequency relationship. Nonetheless, the KDV06FR100ET inductance measurements at 1 Volt continue to display marginally higher values than the statistical benchmark across most of the tested frequencies, except for those within the 75kHz to 1MHz range. This trend demonstrates a consistent nominal variation between the component's inductance and the benchmark data.

When analyzing the 10 Volt data, it must be noted that some gaps exist in the available measurements. Specifically, there is an absence of measurements in the frequency range between 500Hz and 20kHz, as well as from 750kHz onwards. At 5Hz, the KDV06FR100ET exhibits a significantly higher inductance of 86.02μ Henries as compared to the inductance at 1 Volt. Meanwhile, the inductance value at 10Hz is only slightly higher, registering at 83.12μ Henries. A substantial drop in inductance can be observed at 50Hz, decreasing to 8.694μ Henries. Beyond 150kHz, the KDV06FR100ET displays decreasing inductance values as the frequency increases, signifying consistency in the inductance-frequency relationship at higher voltages. However, due to the absence of data for certain frequencies, a comprehensive comparison between the KDV06FR100ET and the statistical benchmark for 10 Volt measurements cannot be provided with confidence.

While this analysis explores the inductance properties of the Ohmite KDV06FR100ET at both 1 Volt and 10 Volts, it is crucial to interpret the data in the context of specific applications. Thorough testing and evaluation of the actual component in a given circuit will provide insights into its performance and suitability for the intended application requirements.

Comparative Analysis

In this comparative analysis, we will study the performance of Ohmite's KDV06FR100ET metal film resistor and compare it to a statistical benchmark formed from other components of the same value. The data table provided suggests that the KDV06FR100ET resistor does not consistently match the benchmark in certain aspects.

At test frequencies ranging from 5 to 500 kHz, the KDV06FR100ET demonstrates a difference in impedance when compared to the benchmark values. For instance, at a test frequency of 5 kHz, KDV06FR100ET has an impedance of 94.79 mOhms, while the benchmark states an average impedance of just 91.94 mOhms. Similarly, at 1 MHz the component's impedance is 95.3 mOhms, compared to the benchmark impedance average of 92.53 mOhms. A wide range of impedance values in the KDV06FR100ET resists uniformity within the benchmark.

Furthermore, the resistor's quality factor does not consistently align with the benchmark's values. At a frequency of 100 kHz, the KDV06FR100ET quality factor is 0.05, while the benchmark quality factor is ranging from (min) 0.01 to (max) 0.22, with an average of 0.05. Additionally, at 150 kHz, the KDV06FR100ET quality factor stands at 0.01, when the benchmark holds an average of 0.06 and a max value of 0.33.

The KDV06FR100ET component's series resistance and series inductance also deviate from the benchmark data. At a 500 kHz frequency range, the KDV06FR100ET resistor's series resistance, while at 95 mOhms, far exceeds the benchmark average value of 92.22 mOhms. Similarly, the series inductance at the same frequency at 29.01 nHenries is higher than the benchmark average of 598.7 nHenries.

In conclusion, although the KDV06FR100ET metal film resistor does closely match some elements of the statistical benchmark, it does not consistently perform within the established values. This resistor's characteristics, in terms of impedance, quality factor, series resistance, and series inductance, could be unsuitable for some specific applications, leading engineers to reconsider its utilization in their circuits.

Conclusion

In light of the data provided, Ohmite's KDV06FR100ET Metal Film Resistor demonstrates overall acceptable performance relative to the statistical benchmark for similar 100m resistors. At 1 Volt, the component's impedance, series resistance, and series inductance values lie within the average to maximum range of the statistical benchmark. However, the series capacitance is lower than the benchmark average at 1kHz test frequency, indicating room for improvement.

When tested at 10 Volts, the KDV06FR100ET exhibits good performance in terms of impedance, series resistance, and series inductance. It should be noted that there is no data available for series capacitance above 1kHz test frequency at 10 Volts. Thus, the capacitive performance of the resistor remains a concern in high-frequency applications.

Despite these concerns, the KDV06FR100ET might be an ideal choice as a Metal Film Resistor for certain applications and circuit designs where series capacitance is not a critical factor. In conclusion, while not a flawless candidate, the resistor provides satisfactory performance against the benchmark, making it a viable option for engineers. Further improvements in capacitive properties could lead to even greater performance and application versatility for the KDV06FR100ET Metal Film Resistor.
