Frequently Asked Questions
How does the TCR specification of Caddock USF270 affect measurement accuracy in a precision bridge circuit?
With TCR as low as 5 ppm/°C, the USF270 introduces less than 0.05% resistance change across a 10°C temperature swing in a Wheatstone bridge. This level of thermal stability preserves bridge balance in precision load cell or strain gauge circuits, keeping measurement errors from resistor drift well below the 0.1% threshold that most industrial sensors specify as the acceptable uncertainty floor.
For a precision voltage divider requiring 0.05% accuracy, how does USF270's tolerance grade meet this requirement?
Caddock USF270 is available with resistance tolerance as tight as 0.01%, which provides a 5-times margin relative to the 0.05% divider accuracy target. Combining this tolerance with the 5 ppm/°C TCR ensures the divider ratio remains stable across the operating temperature range, making USF270 suitable for ADC reference ladders and precision gain-setting networks in measurement equipment.
In what ways does the non-inductive construction of USF270 expand its usable frequency range beyond wirewound alternatives?
Wirewound resistors exhibit significant parasitic inductance (typically 0.1 µH to several µH) that causes impedance to rise at frequencies above a few kilohertz, distorting AC circuits. USF270's non-inductive film element eliminates this inductance, keeping impedance flat from DC through radio frequencies and enabling its use in 50 ohm impedance networks, filter tuning elements, and AC calibration loads.
