MODEL PTF
TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT OF RESISTANCE MATCHED SETS - NETWORKS
Dale’s® many years of experience in matching resistors
for sets and networks, combined with the superb
performance of the PTF product, provide the best and
most economical solution to your precision resistor
requirements. Why? Because most applications for
precision resistors depend on two or more discretes
having an initial tolerance ratio and a resistance
tracking capability over temperature rather than each
discrete resistor meeting the absolute requirements of
the application.
Cost savings approaching 50% can be realized when
relatively tight matching requirements are specified
while permitting the absolute parameters of the
discrete resistors to have more relaxed specifications.
Dale® application engineers are available to assist you
in specifying your requirements in the most
economical way possible.

PART MARKING
Example: PTF-56, 20K01, B, T-13 = A precision thin film resistor, 1/8 watt with resistance of 20,010 ohms, tolerance of ± 0.1% and 0 ± 10PPM/°C TCR.
Example: Assume the operating characteristics demand a temperature
range from - 55°C to + 125°C. This requires a ± 35°C ∆ below - 20°C and a
± 40°C ∆ above + 85°C. The extreme ∆ being ± 40°C means that the worst
case addition to the specified TC limit of ± 0.05PPM/°C times ± 40°C or
± 2PPM/°C. Therefore, a T-16 which is characterized by a base TC limit of
± 5PPM/°C over the temperature range of - 20°C to + 85°C will exhibit a
maximum temperature coefficient of ± 7PPM/°C over the expanded portion
of the temperature range of - 55°C to + 125°C.
PTF resistors have an operating temperature range of
- 55°C to + 150°C. They must be derated according to
the curve below.

Temperature coefficient (TC) of resistance is normally stated as the maximum
amount of resistance change from the original + 25°C value as the ambient
temperature increases or decreases. This is most commonly expressed in
parts per million per degree centigrade (PPM/°C).
The resistance curve over the operating temperature range is usually a
non-linear curve within predictable maximum limits. PTF resistors have a very
uniform resistance temperature characteristic when measured over the
operating range of - 20°C to + 85°C. The standard temperature coefficients
available are T-10 = ± 15PPM/°C, T-13 = ± 10PPM/°C and T-16 = ± 5PPM/°C.
Some applications of the PTF require operation beyond the specifications of
- 20°C to + 85°C. The change in temperature coefficient of resistance is very
small (less than ± 0.05PPM/°C) over the expanded temperature range of
- 55°C to + 150°C. Therefore, when operating outside the range of - 20°C to
+ 85°C, the designer can plan for a worst case addition of ± 0.05PPM/°C for
each degree centigrade beyond either - 20°C or + 85°C as indicated in the
graph. This applies to all three temperature coefficient codes.
