This technical review provides an analysis of the resistor's performance compared to a statistical benchmark formed from other components of the same value. The objective of this review is to offer an accurate, meaningful, honest, captivating, and thorough comparison, focusing on electrical characteristics such as impedance, dissipation factor, quality factor, series resistance, series inductance, and series capacitance across various test frequencies and voltage levels.

Impedance

When examining the impedance of the CSR1206FKR100 resistor, the LCR measurements taken at 1 Volt are compared with benchmark data to ensure consistency and reliability. The results show that this resistor exhibits impedance values that are quite close to the average benchmark values. For example, at a 5 Hz frequency, the measured impedance is 88.88 mΩ, which is slightly lower than the average benchmark value of 91.73 mΩ. Additionally, at 100 kHz test frequency, the impedance is 88.89 mΩ, closely approximating the average benchmark value of 92.53 mΩ. Such close matching between measured values and benchmark data supports the notion that the CSR1206FKR100 Resistor performs reliably and optimally.

Beyond these initial measurements, further LCR tests explore the impedance of the CSR1206FKR100 resistor at 10 Volts. When comparing these results to the previously discussed 1 Volt measurements, subtle fluctuations in impedance values become apparent. For instance, at 20 kHz frequency, the impedance value rises considerably to 97.01 mΩ, while, in contrast, decreases to 79.98 mΩ at the 50 kHz frequency. This divergence from the 1 Volt test values is important to acknowledge, as some deviation from the benchmark values is to be expected during real-world usage. Nonetheless, the overall trends in LCR measurements for the CSR1206FKR100 resistor display a fair amount of variance across test frequencies, indicating its adaptability and suitability for various applications.

Resistance

The CSR1206FKR100 from Stackpole Electronics Inc. is a thick film resistor that has a nominal resistance value of 100 milliohms (100mΩ) and a tolerance of ±1%. In this section, we will analyze the performance of this resistor under varying voltage conditions, specifically at 1 Volt and 10 Volts, while comparing its series resistance measurements against the expected statistical benchmark.

At 1 Volt, the CSR1206FKR100 resistor exhibits consistent performance across various test frequencies with measured values ranging from 88.53mΩ to 88.93mΩ. Comparing the average series resistance to the benchmark data, it is apparent that this resistor performs slightly below the average benchmark values, which range between 91.71mΩ and 93.43mΩ. Despite this, it is essential to note that the CSR1206FKR100 remains within the specified tolerance range of ±1%, thus, meeting its design specifications.

When analyzing the resistor's performance at a higher voltage, specifically at 10 Volts, the CSR1206FKR100 demonstrates a broader range of series resistance values across different testing frequencies. These values span from a low of 76.74mΩ to a high of 89.37mΩ. The maximum measured value at this voltage level aligns well with the benchmark; however, the minimum value falls below the statistical minimum expected. This observation suggests a possible reduction in stability for the resistor when subjected to increased voltage conditions, particularly at higher test frequencies. Therefore, when deploying this component in a circuit design, it is vital to consider how variations in voltage levels could impact the performance of the CSR1206FKR100 resistor.

Inductance

The CSR1206FKR100 exhibits noticeable deviations in its inductance values when operating at different frequency ranges in comparison to typical benchmark values. This distinction is crucial while evaluating the component for specific electronics engineering projects that involve precise inductance control. A detailed analysis at various frequency ranges is provided below.

At lower frequencies, such as 5Hz and 10Hz, the CSR1206FKR100 demonstrates a relatively higher inductance when compared to the average benchmark values of 3.411μH and 868.9nH. With measured values of 4.175μH and 786.7nH respectively, it is evident that the component's inductance properties differ significantly at these low frequencies.

Moving up the frequency spectrum, the inductance values of CSR1206FKR100 grow closer to the benchmark averages. At 50Hz, the component measures 603.7nH of series inductance, which is slightly higher than the average of 598.7nH. When tested at 100Hz, the inductance exhibited is 52.15nH, very close to the benchmark's average value of 52.5nH.

As the test frequency enters the 1kHz to 1MHz range, the CSR1206FKR100 consistently demonstrates lower inductance values when compared to the statistical averages. Though not highly deviant, it is essential to note this uniformity of lower inductance values at higher frequency ranges. This trait can potentially contribute to desirable electrical characteristics when designing high-performance circuits.

In conclusion, the CSR1206FKR100's inductance profile exhibits a unique pattern across different frequency ranges. The higher inductance values at low frequencies and consistently lower inductance values at high frequencies – with only minor deviations from benchmark averages – make this component suitable for a variety of electronics engineering applications where specific inductance properties are required.
