MDP1601150RJD04

MDP1601150RJD04 Description

The MDP1601150RJD04 from Vishay is a thick film resistor network designed for precision applications requiring stable performance across a wide temperature range. This 16-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package) device integrates 15 resistors, each rated at 150Ω with a 5% tolerance, delivering a total power rating of 1.92W (0.125W per resistor). Its thick film technology ensures low noise and high reliability, while the molded case provides robust mechanical protection. The resistor network operates within a temperature range of 25°C to 150°C (derated) and features a ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, making it suitable for environments with thermal fluctuations.

MDP1601150RJD04 Features

• High Power Handling: 1.92W total power dissipation, ideal for power-sensitive circuits.
• Stable Performance: ±100ppm/°C TCR ensures minimal resistance drift under thermal stress.
• Durable Construction: Molded DIP package enhances mechanical strength and longevity.
• Pin Termination: Through-hole mounting with a 2.54mm pitch for secure PCB integration.
• Automated Assembly Compatibility: Packaged in tubes for efficient pick-and-place processes.
• Wide Operating Range: Functions reliably from -55°C to +125°C (non-derated).

MDP1601150RJD04 Applications

This resistor network excels in:

• Analog/Digital Signal Conditioning: Precision voltage division and pull-up/down circuits.
• Industrial Control Systems: Robust performance in harsh environments (e.g., motor drives, PLCs).
• Power Management: Current limiting and load balancing in power supplies.
• Legacy Electronics: DIP packaging suits refurbishment or designs requiring through-hole components.
• Test & Measurement Equipment: Stable resistance values critical for calibration and sensing.

Conclusion of MDP1601150RJD04

The MDP1601150RJD04 stands out for its high power density, thermal stability, and rugged design, making it a superior choice over thinner-film alternatives in demanding applications. While non-compliant with EU RoHS due to SVHC content, its performance-to-size ratio and Vishay’s reliability justify its use in industrial, automotive (non-AECQ), and legacy systems. Engineers seeking a cost-effective, durable resistor network with proven thick film technology will find this model ideal.
