VPG MSR Series

The MSR series from Alpha Electronics offers a compact standard resistor suitable for the calibration of low resistance milliohm meters. The internal construction and connection terminals are designed to optimize AC characteristics and minimize the effect of thermoelectromotive force. Alpha’s Bulk Metal® Foil resistive elements are used to ensure the best long-term stability and lowest temperature coefficients are achieved. The MSR calibration resistor is a cost effective and simple product, offering both high stability and low temperature coefficient.
