MDP160168R0GD04 Description

The MDP160168R0GD04 from Vishay is a high-performance thick film resistor network designed for precision applications in electronic circuits. This 16-pin DIP (Dual In-Line Package) device integrates 15 resistors, each with a 68Ω resistance value and a tight 2% tolerance, ensuring consistent performance. With a power rating of 1.92W (0.125W per resistor) and a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C, it delivers stable operation across a wide temperature range (25°C to 150°C derated, 125°C maximum). The molded case provides durability, while the through-hole pin termination ensures secure mounting. Packaged in a tube, this non-automotive, non-PPAP compliant component is ideal for industrial and commercial applications where reliability is critical.
