CarTech Manganin 130 possesses a resitivity of 290 ohms per circular mil foot, low thermal EMF vs. copper (not exceeding +3.0 microvolts per degree C between 0 and 100°C) and a nominal temperature coefficient of resistance of 15 ppm per degree C between 15 and 35°C. The peak in the resistance temperature curve is approximately 30°C.

When winding CarTech Manganin 130 resistors, strains are set up in the wire which must be relieved to obtain stability. It has been found necessary to artificially age resistors by baking at temperatures from 120 to 138°C (250 to 280°F) from 25 to 48 hours.

The maximum recommended operating temperature in air is 93°C (200°F).

Applications:
CarTech Manganin 130 has been used in precision built electrical components such as Wheatstone bridges, decade boxes, voltage drivers, potentiometers and resistance standards.
