MELF is the abbreviation for Metal Electrode Leadless Face - a leadless cylindrical component that is metallized on two ends. It is designed majorly as a SMD component. Since manufacturing process of MELF resistor is more complex than flat-chip resistor, MELF resistor has its own advantages over flat-chip type.
TOKEN full line of Pulse MELF RGM resistors meet RoHS Directives.

Pulse MELF RGM series are made by metal glaze film coating on the surface of a cylindrical substrate with excellent characteristics and stable at even high resistance range.
Token offers competitive prices and are widely used Pulse MELF resistor in the power source protector like fluorescent's inverter, and starting resistor for Mercury Lamp. For high value resistance application, are widely used in computer and electronics, like protector of eliminate electrostatic and thunder lightning.
