TOL3216MR – TITAN OPTO

The TOL3216MR is a surface-mount, thin-film resistor manufactured by Vishay (or a similar manufacturer, specify if different). This specific part number denotes a tolerance of ±1% (the “MR” designation), a 3216 case size (1.6mm x 0.8mm), and a composition of a thin-film material, likely nickel chromium or similar, for high stability. It operates within a typical voltage range of ±200V (check datasheet for precise limits), exhibiting low TCR (Temperature Coefficient of Resistance) for stable performance across a wide temperature range (-55°C to +155°C, confirm from datasheet). The device’s power rating is typically 0.25W (again, confirm from datasheet), though derating may be necessary at higher temperatures._x000D_

Packaging is typically tape and reel, facilitating automated placement. Common use cases include precision voltage dividers, current limiting networks in high-frequency applications (due to low parasitic inductance and capacitance inherent in thin-film construction), and applications demanding high stability and accuracy. Its advantages stem from the tight tolerance, low TCR, and small size, making it suitable for space-constrained and precision-critical designs where standard tolerance resistors are insufficient. Always consult the official datasheet for complete specifications and reliability data before incorporating into a design.
