While their performance is similar for pulse durations down to 1 ms, VFR resistors fare better than thin film chips for shorter pulses thanks to the bulk metal properties of their resistive material, which results in high stability and high thermal capacity. The article goes on to analyze failure modes under high power pulses and to provide recommendations for design improvements to increase the pulse load capability.</p> <div class="migration-injected-attachments"><div style="font-weight:bold;margin:15px 0 5px 0;">Attachments:</div><div></div><table style="border:0;"><tbody><tr><td width="160"><span class="_se_attachment" id="attid_https://www.element14.com/community/api/core/v3/attachments/108687"><a href="https://community.element14.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-62/TN107-Pulse-Load-Capability-of-Precision-Chip-Resistors.pdf">community.element14.com/.../TN107-Pulse-Load-Capability-of-Precision-Chip-Resistors.pdf</a></span></td><td><span style="font-size:80%;">TN107 Pulse Load Capability of Precision Chip Resistors.pdf</span></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="clear:both;"></div>
