Considering the overall comparative performance analysis, it is crucial to assess the applicability of the ERJ-6DSFR10V for specific applications within your circuit. This review provides all the necessary information to evaluate the suitability of this component for your design before making a final decision.
In this section, we examine the impedance performance of Panasonic's ERJ-6DSFR10V 100mOhm Thick Film Resistor and compare it to the statistical benchmarks at various frequencies and applied voltages. We will specifically analyze the performance of the ERJ-6DSFR10V at 1 Volt and 10 Volt LCR measurements and compare them to the provided benchmark data.
Beginning with the LCR measurements at 1 Volt, we notice that the ERJ-6DSFR10V exhibits higher average impedance levels compared to the benchmark average values. The average impedance for this resistor varies from 86.01mOhm at 5 Hz to 86.72mOhm at 1 MHz. In comparison, the benchmark average ranges from 91.73mOhm at 5 Hz to 108.3mOhm at 1 MHz. It is worth noting that the ERJ-6DSFR10V maintains relatively stable performance across the entire frequency range, which ensures higher performance in terms of impedance.
Moving on to the LCR measurements at 10 Volts, we observe a different pattern. The impedance levels for the ERJ-6DSFR10V appear to be more varied, ranging from 74.34mOhm at 150 kHz to 95.15mOhm at 20 kHz. This differs from the benchmark average values, which displayed impedance levels closer to the 92mOhm range. The disparity in impedance between the ERJ-6DSFR10V and the benchmark average is more pronounced at higher frequencies. As a result, the performance at 10 Volts may impact the overall impedance profile for specific applications that require an extended frequency range and increased voltage tolerance.
Electronics engineers should carefully consider these findings when evaluating this resistor's appropriateness based on their specific requirements and performance criteria, particularly in terms of impedance performance across different operating conditions. Understanding the impedance characteristics of a resistor in various scenarios aids in determining the suitability of the component for a particular application, ensuring that the system performs optimally under diverse conditions.
In this analysis, we will compare the Panasonic Electronic Components' ERJ-6DSFR10V resistor with the statistical benchmark composed of other 100 milliohm components. When examining the LCR (Inductance, Capacitance, Resistance) measurements at 1 Volt, the ERJ-6DSFR10V exhibits a series resistance of 85.99mΩ to 86.41mΩ across the test frequencies ranging from 5 Hz to 1 Mhz. In contrast, the statistical benchmark for average series resistance in this category displays values ranging from 91.71mΩ to 93.43mΩ at test frequencies from 5 Hz to 1 MHz. It is evident that the Panasonic ERJ-6DSFR10V resistor demonstrates a lower series resistance on average when compared to the statistical benchmark at 1 Volt.
Comparing the maximum series resistance values, the benchmark displays a range from 104.5mΩ to 113.1mΩ at test frequencies between 5 Hz and 1 MHz. The ERJ-6DSFR10V remains well below these values, indicating good performance relative to the maximum series resistance metric. This characteristic suggests that the Panasonic ERJ-6DSFR10V resistor has a higher tolerance for current loads and temperature variations than the typical 100 milliohm resistors, making it a more reliable component.
Focusing on the LCR measurements at 10 Volts, the ERJ-6DSFR10V presents a distinct behavior compared to the 1 Volt test data. The series resistance values change drastically at higher test frequencies of 750 kHz and beyond, with a few missing data points to be considered. The impact of increased voltage on series resistance is also an essential factor to analyze, as it enables a clearer understanding of overall performance under different operating conditions.
Nevertheless, the resistance data up to 700 kHz indicates consistency with the 1 Volt results – maintaining lower resistance values than the statistical benchmark. In conclusion, the ERJ-6DSFR10V exhibits a relatively lower series resistance compared to the statistical benchmark at the given test frequencies and voltages. This performance signifies its potential applicability for use in specialized circuits where lower resistance attributes are preferred, such as low-power consumption devices, high-frequency applications, and other demanding use cases requiring precise impedance control with minimized power losses.
The inductance performance of the ERJ-6DSFR10V thick film resistor has been meticulously evaluated and contrasted with statistical benchmark data obtained from other resistors of the same value. At a test voltage of 1 Volt, our analysis points out that, for a majority of test frequencies, the resistor's series inductance is either marginally lower or falls within the average range of series inductance values exhibited by resistors in its category.
For example, with a test frequency of 5 Hz, the ERJ-6DSFR10V inductance is determined to be 2.668μH, falling short of the average figure of 3.411μH, while still remaining within the acceptable minimum and maximum range (1.638μH to 5.906μH). Likewise, at commonly used higher frequencies, such as 10 kHz, 50 kHz, and 100 kHz, the component's inductance values of 2.32nH, 1.491nH, and 1.534nH correspondingly fall within the average statistical benchmarks of 7.925nH, 6.844nH, and 6.597nH, exhibiting a satisfactory conformity to industry norms.
Nevertheless, the ERJ-6DSFR10V's performance at elevated frequencies (those exceeding 250 kHz) seems to surpass the benchmark maximum values, with measurements like 1.68nH at 500 kHz and 1.709nH at 850 kHz outpacing the upper boundaries of 35.47nH and 35.38nH, respectively. This observation implies that the ERJ-6DSFR10V may not be the ideal choice for applications demanding minimal inductance at exceedingly high frequencies.
Furthermore, LCR measurements conducted at 10 Volts yielded intriguing results, as the series inductance substantially deviated from the 1 Volt measurements at numerous frequencies. For instance, at a test frequency of 5 Hz, the ERJ-6DSFR10V inductance registered at 86.41μH, showcasing a significant disparity from the nominal value obtained at 1 Volt. When measured at 10 Hz, it displayed an inductance of 84.14μH, starkly exceeding the average value of resistors in its class. However, data was found to be lacking for numerous frequency ranges, from a frequency of 50 Hz and beyond, rendering a direct and conclusive comparison with the benchmark data at 10 Volts rather challenging.
In this comprehensive comparative analysis section of the technical review, we dive into the performance details of the Panasonic Electronic Components ERJ-6DSFR10V Thick Film Resistor to see how it stacks up against statistical benchmark data. The component under evaluation is a 100mΩ, ±1% tolerance Surface Mount resistor in an 0805 (2012 Metric) package.
First, we examine the LCR results at 1V frequency sweep. The ERJ-6DSFR10V displayed higher impedance values over most test frequencies compared to their respective statistical benchmarks. The Series Resistance, on average, appears to be higher than that of the benchmark. In terms of Series Inductance, the ERJ-6DSFR10V outperforms the benchmark for the data points below 1 kHz. However, for frequencies beyond 1 kHz, the component records higher series inductance values.
The ERJ-6DSFR10V exhibits a lack of Quality Factor data over most of the 1V testing frequencies. However, at higher frequencies (75k-1M) where Q data is available it remains quite low, primarily fluctuating between 0.1 and 0.12. Series Capacitance is only measurable at 1kHz, offering 5.534 pF of capacitance, a value lesser than the 6.001 pF average benchmark at that same frequency.
Turning to LCR measurements made at 10V, the results show a pattern similar to the 1V test. The ERJ-6DSFR10V demonstrates higher impedance values compared to the benchmark throughout the measured frequency range, except for 50k and the 75k-300k range. Impedance values in these exceptions are generally more favorable for choosing the component under test. Series Resistance is found to be consistently higher than the corresponding average benchmark values. In terms of Series Inductance, the ERJ-6DSFR10V outperforms the benchmark up to 50 kHz, but records higher inductance values above that frequency.
There is a lack of comprehensive Quality Factor and Dissipation Factor data from the ERJ-6DSFR10V's 10V test results. The few Quality Factor data points place it at a range from 0.02 to 0.21 at 150 kHz and 1 MHz, and 5 kHz to 20 kHz, respectively.
Based on the data and our analysis, engineers may wish to consider the ERJ-6DSFR10V if they require higher impedance values and are working in scenarios below 1 kHz frequencies. However, for applications where lower impedance and series resistance are critical, and usage of frequencies above 1 kHz, alternative options that more closely align with statistical benchmarks may prove to be more optimal choices.
In this technical review, we analyzed the performance of Panasonic Electronic Components' ERJ-6DSFR10V Resistor relative to a statistical benchmark that is formed from other components of the same nominal value. We evaluated the impedance, resistance, inductance, and quality factor at different test frequencies.
When assessed against the statistical benchmark, the ERJ-6DSFR10V Resistor perform in a range of results. Depending on the test frequency and voltage, the ERJ-6DSFR10V may exhibit advantages or disadvantages with regard to its impedance, resistance, and inductance compared to the average performance of similar components. In some test frequencies, the impedance and resistance values of the ERJ-6DSFR10V are quite close to the benchmark values, while in others, such as test frequency of 20 kHz at 10 Volts, deviate notably, with the impedance being greater than the maximum benchmark.
One key area of possible concern is the relatively low quality factor exhibited by the ERJ-6DSFR10V at several test frequencies. For applications where a high-quality factor is highly desirable, consider evaluating other resistor models.
Overall, engineers evaluating this Resistor for their designs need to consider the specific metric of interest and requirements for their application. A comparison with the benchmark will determine whether the ERJ-6DSFR10V Resistor is suitable for their designs. For certain requirements and applications, ERJ-6DSFR10V might be a suitable choice, but engineers should evaluate it thoroughly based on the relevant data provided above.
