Wirewound Resistors offer power ratings up to 12 W.

Press Release Summary:




Featuring non-inductive Ayrton-Perry winding and non-magnetic, all-welded construction, MRA Series offers high temperature operation to +350°C, which is suited for high-end audio and medical imaging equipment. Axial lead devices provide resistance from 0.01 Ω to 85.0 kΩ, with tolerances of ±1%, ±5%, and ±10%. In addition, resistors feature TCR of ±90 ppm/°C for resistance below 0.99 Ω, ±50 ppm/°C for resistance from 1.0–9.9 Ω, and ±30 ppm/°C for resistance of 10 Ω and above.

Vishay Intertechnology Releases New Series of Non-Magnetic, Non-Inductive Axial Lead Wirewound Resistors



Ideal for Audio and Medical Applications, Devices Feature High Power Ratings to 12 W and Operating Temperature to +350 °C



MALVERN, Pa. — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new series of non-magnetic, non-inductive axial lead wirewound resistors with high power ratings to 12 W and high-temperature operation to +350 °C, which is ideal for high-end audio and medical imaging equipment.



For radio frequency (RF) and operational amplifier applications, the non-magnetic and all-welded construction of the Vishay Mills MRA series devices, from the Vishay Dale Resistors division, greatly enhances frequency response. Combined with a non-inductive Ayrton-Perry winding, inductive reactance and signal loss are virtually eliminated.



The resistors provide power ratings from 4 W to 12 W at 25 °C and temperature ranges from -65 °C to +250 °C (characteristic U) and -65 °C to +350 °C (characteristic V). The devices offer resistance from 0.01 Ω to 85.0 kΩ, with tolerances of ± 1 %, ± 5 %, and ± 10 %, and TCR of ± 90 ppm/°C for resistance below 0.99 Ω, ± 50 ppm/°C for resistance from 1.0 Ω to 9.9 Ω, and ± 30 ppm/°C for resistance of 10 Ω and above.



MRA resistors are RoHS-compliant and comply with Vishay Green standards.
