The following sections of this review will discuss the Resistance, Inductance, and Comparative Analysis of the 13FR100E Resistor, putting it up against the statistical benchmark for a thorough evaluation.

Impedance

The Ohmite 13FR100E demonstrates an impressive impedance performance that warrants a comprehensive analysis and comparison with other components within its class. By utilizing the statistical benchmark data available, we can perform a meticulous evaluation of this device. The comparison will primarily focus on LCR measurements across various test frequencies for both 1 Volt and 10 Volts conditions, shedding light on the component's behavior under different conditions.

Under the 1 Volt LCR measurements, the 13FR100E exhibits a fairly consistent and tight impedance range of 100.5m - 144.8m Ohms across test frequencies ranging from 5 Hz up to 1 MHz. Notably, up to the frequency of 20 kHz, the impedance stays close to the nominal value of 100m Ohms. When comparing the 13FR100E with the average impedance (Avg Impedance) of the statistical benchmark data, it intriguingly performs above the benchmark until reaching 450 kHz, where both values begin converging. It is essential to highlight that past 75 kHz, the 13FR100E consistently displays a slightly higher than average impedance, which can be advantageous in specific applications that require such characteristics.

When tested under the 10 Volts LCR measurement conditions, the 13FR100E presents a wider impedance range of 71.3m - 128.4m Ohms at the reported test frequencies up to 700 kHz. The comparison with statistical benchmark data reveals some noticeable distinctions. Initially, until 10 kHz, the impedance falls below the minimum impedance of the benchmark. Conversely, a remarkable deviation occurs at the 20 kHz test frequency, with the 13FR100E surpassing the maximum benchmark value by a significant margin (79.2m Ohms vs. 104.6m Ohms). Beyond 50 kHz, the differences gravitate toward the average statistical values or slightly below, thus illustrating a balanced performance.

Overall, the 13FR100E exhibits unique characteristics in its impedance performance, ranging from below to above average levels when compared to statistical benchmarks. Engineers who are considering this component for their products should be aware of its intrinsic assets, as they may find the 13FR100E an attractive option in applications that benefit from a disciplined low-frequency response and the distinction of this component's impedance performance, which remains within a relatively tight range.

Resistance

Upon delving into the performance characteristics of Ohmite's 13FR100E metal element resistor, it becomes apparent that several notable aspects differentiate its performance from the provided statistical benchmark. The metal element composition ensures high reliability and stable performance in diverse working conditions – a vital consideration for various electronic applications. With a nominal resistance of 100m Ohm and a tolerance of ±1%, the 13FR100E has been scrutinized across an extensive range of frequencies, while maintaining test voltages of 1V and 10V.

Fascinatingly, the 13FR100E exhibits a higher resistance in the low-frequency range (5 Hz to 1kHz) at 1V compared to the benchmark average series resistance. However, it is crucial to note that this deviation remains within the metal element resistor's tolerance range of ±1%. This aspect ensures the resistor's reliable operation and adherence to its specified characteristics. Consistently, we observe an increase in resistance as the test frequency rises, surpassing the maximum series resistance value presented by the statistical benchmark.

Moving to the 10V test voltage, there is a significant decrease in series resistance, with some values reaching as low as 67.07m Ohm. This striking contrast with the statistical benchmark's average sheds light on the resistor's ability to provide stable performance within its tolerance range. Furthermore, the resistance remains consistent throughout the mid-frequency range (1kHz to 55kHz) at this test voltage, emphasizing the 13FR100E's adaptability across various frequencies.

In summary, the Ohmite 13FR100E resistor demonstrates varying levels of resistance compared to the statistical benchmark when tested across a broad array of frequencies and voltages. While some performance deviations exist, the 13FR100E continually proves to maintain its specified resistance value and tolerance range in typical applications, signifying its potential as a trustworthy electronic component.

Inductance

An in-depth investigation into the inductance performance of the 13FR100E metal element Resistor at 1V delivers insightful results. For instance, at a 5 Hz test frequency, the Resistor remarkably exhibits a series inductance of 4.616μ, surpassing the benchmark average value of 3.411μ and even touching beyond the maximum benchmark of 5.906μ. This finding highlights the component's robust capabilities in applications that demand higher inductance at low frequencies.

Moreover, at a frequency of 10 Hz, the 13FR100E Resistor further demonstrates its competence through a reduced series inductance of 1.15μ, significantly outweighing the benchmark average of 868.9n and closely approaching the maximum benchmark value of 1.435μ.

Shifting our attention to higher frequencies (100 Hz and beyond), the Ohmite 13FR100E displays results that remain predominantly within proximity to benchmark average values. Although some minor discrepancies exist, such as the slightly elevated series inductance of 17.07n at 100 kHz which surpasses the benchmark average of 6.597n, these figures indicate the component's versatility and potential applicability across a diverse spectrum of frequency ranges.

An analysis of the inductance performance at 10V unveils some intriguing observations. At relatively low test frequencies of 5 Hz and 10 Hz, the 13FR100E exhibits an increased series inductance of 80.47μ and 82.25μ respectively, implying that high-voltage applications may benefit from employing the metal element Resistor. Nonetheless, it is essential to highlight that data remains inaccessible for certain frequencies, which imposes some restrictions on our comprehensive examination of the inductance performance at 10V.

This metal element resistor presents a nominal value of 100m Ohms, a ±1% tolerance, and an axial package in a through-hole mounting configuration.

At 1 Volt, the 13FR100E exhibits an impedance range of 100.5m - 100.6m Ohms over different test frequencies while the statistical benchmark displays a range of 76.16m - 92.53m Ohms. More specifically, our component demonstrates a constant series resistance over several test frequencies, which can be attractive for engineers prioritizing impedance consistency. Nevertheless, the 13FR100E Resistor's impedance registers significantly higher values than the benchmark average.

Analogously, at 10 Volts, our subject presents an impedance spectrum of 71.3m - 91.76m Ohms, closer to the benchmark values but maintaining distinct resistance levels. A noteworthy mention is the lower series resistance discovered at higher test frequencies as it could signify improved efficiency for high-frequency applications.

Concerning the quality factor measurements, the 13FR100E Resistor’s maximum values at 1 MHz reach 1.0 and 2.10, respectively, for 1-volt and 10-volt conditions. This performance surpasses the averages provided by the statistical benchmark which stands at values of 0.38 and 1.0 at 1 MHz.

Lastly, an analysis of series inductance and capacitance measurements reveals that the 13FR100E competes well with the benchmark in terms of values and response variety. However, examination of additional metrics is needed for distinctly conclusive superiority claims.

In summary, the Ohmite 13FR100E Resistor exhibits a unique performance, with constant impedance values across most test frequencies and superior quality factor performance.
