CRG0402F13R – TE CONNECTIVITY

Overview

The TE Connectivity CRG0402F13R is a high-precision 13-ohm thick-film surface-mount resistor designed for demanding electronic circuits. Its critical operational characteristic lies in its tight 1% tolerance, ensuring predictable current limiting and voltage division in sensitive signal paths. A key design consideration often overlooked is the trade-off between its compact 0402 (1005 metric) package and its 62.5mW power dissipation; designers must carefully manage thermal dissipation to prevent derating and maintain long-term stability, especially in high-density boards where airflow is restricted.

Key Features

• Resistance: 13 Ohms
