Minimum reflection is obtained by presenting a low VSWR to a matched system while maintaining 50 Ohms of resistance. The chips are fully surface-mountable and measure 0.375 inch x 0.250 inch x 0.040 inch. The matched termination resistor chip components are available in either long or short dimension lead configuration. Operating performance is between 5 and 6 GHz. Pricing is $2.75 per part in quantities of 1000.
