RESISTORS DESIGNED FOR USE AT AC
- Precision resistance standards designed for use up to 10 kHz
- Available for values from 1 mΩ - 10 MΩ
- Bnc option available (add -bnc to end of part number)
- Contact IET for custom resistance values
- Very stable <20 ppm/year for most values at ac and dc
- ISO-17025 accredited calibration at dc and 1 kHz Included
- < 25 ppm difference between dc / 1 kHz for resistances ≤ 100 kΩ
- Excellent temperature coefficient, as low as 1 ppm/°C
Most precision standard resistors are sealed. Where sealed resistors are more stable, they have a poor frequency response.
IET has designed and manufactured our SRAC Series which has excellent ac frequency response while maintaining long term stability of less than 20 ppm.
Calibration: Unlike most resistors, where the calibration value is only available at dc, IET Labs provides an ISO-17025 accredited calibration of these resistors at dc and at 1 kHz. Sweep calibrations and other frequencies are available for a premium.
Configuration: Units come standard with 4 gold plated low thermal emf binding posts, plus ground for use in both 2, 3 or 4-Wire kelvin applications. For a small premium we can make this in any configuration you require including bnc.
Decade Box: If you are looking for a Decade Resistor with very strong ac performance consider our 1433 Series
Frequency response lower resistance, for example, 1 Ω will have a much better frequency response than higher resistance, for example, 10 MΩ
Because calibration uncertainties are much better at dc than ac, IET recommends that for resistance values below 1 MΩ it is recommended to use the dc value for the ac value at 1 kHz. For resistance values of 1 MΩ and 10 MΩ it is recommended to use the ac value.
The frequency response for SRAC values of 100 kΩ and lower is based upon the formula below;
