Product Overview
Precision metal film fixed resistor built to military style RN50 specifications. Features a conformally coated miniature body with axial leads designed for through-hole circuit board mounting in low-noise, tight-tolerance signal paths.
Key Features
- Military style RN50 conformal-coated axial package
- Characteristic C temperature coefficient (50 ppm/°C)
- Rated up to 200V maximum working voltage
- Tinned copper axial wire leads suitable for point-to-point or PCB assembly
Applications
- Populating precision analog audio circuits and instrument preamps where low thermal noise is critical
- Restoring vintage test gear, synthesizers, and communications equipment calling for RN50 series components
- Prototyping breadboard or perfboard projects needing stable, tight-tolerance through-hole passives
Frequently Asked Questions
What power rating applies to the RN50 style?
Under MIL-R-10509 characteristic C, RN50 resistors carry a 0.05W (1/20W) military rating at 125°C, and are commonly applied at 1/10W to 1/8W in standard commercial environments at 70°C.
How are these resistors supplied and priced?
Each unit is sold individually so you can order the exact count required for your build without buying an unwanted bulk pack. Buying more pieces costs less each, and the price-break table on this page shows what each quantity costs. Orders ship for an $8 flat rate, qualify for free shipping at $28 or more, and leave our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Built for tight spaces and steady signals, these precision metal film passives keep vintage audio gear and bench projects running right on spec.
