Faulty resistors to blame for stalled production of US Navy anti-radiation guided missile

06 May, 2016

Faulty resistors have stalled production on the US Navy's Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile (AARGM), causing delays in future deliveries of the weapon. A fault in a batch of resistors installed on circuit card assemblies has been pinpointed as the cause of the issues.


Micro-Measurements LT02 and LT10 series bondable resistors for transducers

06 May, 2016

The LT02 and LT10 series of fixed-value nickel resistors offer tight resistance tolerance and repeatable performance for use in transducer bridge completion circuits.
