Thin Film Microwave Resistor
Product may not be to scale
The MIC resistor chips on alumina are designed with low
shunt capacitance. Most lower value resistor geometrics are
compatible with strip lines, making them ideally suited for
microwave circuits.
These chips are manufactured using Vishay Electro-Films
(EFI) sophisticated Thin Film equipment and manufacturing
technology. The MICs are 100 % electrically tested and
visually inspected to MIL-STD-883.

APPLICATIONS
Vishay EFI MIC chip resistors provide excellent
high-frequency response and are ideally suited for
prototyping.
Typical application areas are:
•Amplifiers
• Oscillators
• Attenuators
•Couplers
•Filters
Note
• Only 20 to 500 are standard strip line designs for microwave applications
