Passive Plus (PPI) has introduced the capability to develop a wide range of high quality custom resistors and Thin Film components (Standard and Custom designed), including Attenuators, Thermal Conductors, and Inductors. PPI has an in-house lab that enables them to characterize both commercial and MIL-PRF-55342 Class H qualified parts. Capabilities include, but are not limited to, filled vias, gold bumping, and castellations on substrates from AlN to Quartz. PPI offers low NRE charges and Standard lead times are typically 4-8 weeks.
PPI has decades of experience in high-reliability thin-film products for the RF, Microwave, Telecommunications, Medical, Fiber-Optics, Defense, Space, and Commercial industries. Their advanced manufacturing methods ensure sheet uniformity, metallization, adhesion, and thickness control allowing it to meet or exceed custom requirements from simple patterned submounts to highly complex boards that include: Transmission Lines Combiners & Splitters, Interposers, Inductors, Filters, Direct Patterns, Integrated Tight Tolerance Resistors.
This Table Showcases the Technical Capability of Custom Thin Film Components

Standard Resistors (0.5Ω to 35MΩ) | DC to 500 MHz | 50 mW to 6 W |
Microchip Resistors (2Ω to 5kΩ) | DC to 60 GHz | 50 mW to 15 W |
Dual-Chip Resistors (2Ω to 1MΩ) | DC to 500 MHz | 25 mW to 1 W |
Resistors Arrays (5Ω to 1MΩ) | DC to 500 MHz | 250 mW (50 mW per resistor standard) |
Attenuators (0.5dB to 24.5dB) | DC to 40 GHz | 250 mW to 16 W |
Thermal Conductors (1012Ω min at 25℃) | - | - |
Inductors (1.2nH to 28nH) | DC to 500 MHz | - |
They also have Full Photolithography capabilities and Lift-off patterning available.
