Type USGS High Voltage, Ultra-Stable,
Low TC Selected Resistor Sets
New
Total Set Resistance up to 500 Megohm with Absolute TC of 5 ppm/°C
Voltage Ratings up to 50 kV DC - Custom Selected Resistor Sets Available
Type USGS - Ultra-Stable Selected Resistor
Sets are designed for use in high voltage
systems that require excellent temperature
stability and long term stability. The resistors
used in these Selected Resistor Sets are
manufactured with Caddock’s Tetrinox ®
Resistance Film System.
The individual USG Style resistors that form
these Ultra-Stable Selected Resistor Sets are
individually characterized using automated
data acquisition systems, and then selected
to form a Set Resistance with an Absolute
Temperature Coefficient (TC) of 5 ppm/°C
maximum.
The low Voltage Coefficient (VC) of the
USG1110 Style resistors used in these
selected resistor sets achieves excellent
stability over the operating voltage range.
Multiple USGS Selected Resistor Sets can
be used in series to form a string of resistors
that achieves a higher total resistance and a
higher voltage rating with 5 ppm/°C overall
temperature coefficient.

High Voltage Design Note: The specifications for these high voltage resistor sets are based upon the proper high voltage field stress
management, thermal design, and material selection for the housing which encloses the high voltage resistor set. The design of the
housing is the responsibility of the user. These resistors are compatible with many high voltage potting materials, but issues regarding
potting material adhesion, bubble free potting, and electrical insulation/isolation are the responsibility of the user.
Dielectric Absorption: The USG resistors are engineered by Caddock to minimize dielectric absorption. The circuit board, potting, or
encapsulation materials that are in contact with, or in circuit with the USG resistors, can exhibit dielectric absorption behavior that can
affect the performance of the circuit. The user is responsible for the selection of materials and the design so that dielectric absorption
and its effects on the performance of the circuit are minimized.
