MELF resistors are able to provide higher levels of performance in terms of long term stability, moisture resistance, reliability, and the resistance to the effects of temperature.

it is considered a substitution of  SMD resistor These resistors are not nearly as widely used as the standard SMD resistors, but in some instances they provide advantages and can be used.

MELF resistor are more expensive than the more widely used SMD resistors, but they are used in applications where the additional performance is needed.

MELF resistors are able to provide higher levels of performance in terms of long term stability, moisture resistance, reliability, and the resistance to the effects of temperature cycling experienced int he soldering processes used today.
