The TC0550B1602T5E is a high precision and low temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) chip surface mount resistor, manufactured by Uniroyal. It complies with the RoHS directive, and is housed in an 0805 package. This resistor is available in two maximum power ratings: 3W and 1/8W, with a resistance value of 16k ohms, and a tolerance of 2%. It is made of nickel chromium (NiCr) alloy resistor element, which provides superior electrical and thermal performance and stability. The high precision of the TC0550B1602T5E is because of the excellent matching of the TCR at 25°C environment, maximum up to 10ppm/K. It is used for applications such as wide dynamic range amplifiers, sensor circuits, and power management circuitry.
