Typical RG/RM construction and composition

■Products' extremely long life contributes to conserving resources.
Extremely long life products: RG series (page 4), RM series (page 6)
Thin film resistors are high precision and very reliable by nature.
New RG series boasts 8 times longer life compared to our conventional thin film resistors.
Under normal usage (normal temp. and humidity), the expected resistance drift is less than 0.1% after 116yearsList

Comparison to our conventional product
Product series Type Judgment Criteria Years
RG series Highly reliable thin film chip resistor 0.1% resistance drift over 116 yrs
RR series Thin film chip resistor 14 years
Test Condition 85 degree centigrade, 85 %RH, 10% rated voltage bias, 90 min. on/30min. off

■Thin film enables us to make components smaller, contributing conserving resources.
