The VRM style is a miniaturized version of the now famous S102C. It is made with a Bulk Metal Foil element so it retains all of the inherent performance of foil resistors. It does not, however, have the value range, power rating, TCR or lead spacing of the S102C. It is a size for size replacement for certain wirewounds and finds application in situations where size constraints dictate the use of this miniature precision resistor.
