Vishays New 0.1-W Surface-Mount Power Metal Strip Resistor Delivers Industry-Low 15-mΩ Resistance for Compact 0603 Package Size
MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA - October 19, 2005 - Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced a new 1/10-W surface-mount Power Metal Strip resistor that is the industrys smallest such device to combine a low 15-mOhm to 100-mOhm resistance value range, a tight tolerance of 1%, and low RTC values down to 75 ppm/C°.
Available in the compact 0603 package size, the new WSL0603 resistor serves in all types of current-sensing, voltage division, and pulse applications. It is intended for power management in cell phones and pagers; electronic automotive systems including engine controls, audio electronics, and climate controls; and disc drive motor control and dctodc converters in computers.
With its very small footprint, low resistance values, and low RTC, the new resistor facilitates current-sensing accuracy, which in turn allows designers to use lower-cost ICs. The surface-mount WSL0603 resistor may be used in lieu of larger components or multiple high-value resistors running in parallel to provide space savings on the printed circuit board, thereby enabling design of smaller and lighter end products.
In addition to a power rating of 0.1 W, the Vishay Dale WSL0603 offers low inductance values from 0.5 nH to 5 nH, excellent frequency response, and low thermal EMF. It is rated for an operating temperature range of 65° C to +170° C.
The new device, which features an all-welded construction with solderable terminations, is easily placed with automated assembly equipment. It is available with a solid metal nickel-chrome alloy resistive element.
The WSL0603 is available in tape-and-reel packaging. Samples and production quantities of the new resistor are available now, with a lead time of four to five weeks for larger orders. Pricing for U.S. delivery in 10,000-piece quantities starts at $0.22 per piece.
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., a Fortune 1,000 Company listed on the NYSE (VSH), is one of the world's largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductors (diodes, rectifiers, transistors, and optoelectronics) and selected ICs, and passive electronic components (resistors, capacitors, inductors, and transducers). Vishay's components can be found in products manufactured in a very broad range of industries worldwide. Vishay is headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania, and has operations in 17 countries employing over 25,000 people. Vishay can be found on the Internet at http://www.vishay.com.
