In summary, the Vishay High Pulse Load Carbon Film MELF resistor series offers one of the highest pulse load capabilities for SMD film resistors, with single pulse capability up to 3 kW. Its exceptional ESD capability up to 16 kV and high surge voltage of up to 10 kV makes them a perfect choice in circuit protection applications. Here, the CMA 0204 and CMB 0207 will allow for a reduction in component count, saving board space and lowering costs. Besides exceptional pulse load capability, the cylindrical design also allows for a high rated dissipation up to 1 W. High-reliability applications will benefit from AEC-Q200 qualification.
