PR02-FS Metal Film Resistors feature TCR of ± 250 ppm/K.

Press Release Summary:

Offering resistance ranging from 1 Ω to 100 Ω with tolerance down to ± 10%, PR02-FS Metal Film Resistors are available in radial version. Operating in -55°C to +200°C temperature range, units feature fusing time of less than 10 sec for an 80 W overload. Meeting IEC 60115-1 and UL 94-V0 standards, resistors have rated power dissipation of 2 W at 70°C. Capable of handling 600 V surges, units are RoHS compliant and halogen free.


Original Press Release:

Vishay Intertechnology PR02-FS High Pulse, Fusible, Non-Inductive, Flameproof Metal Film Resistor Offers Defined Fusing Characteristics

Device Meets the Safety Requirements of UL1412, Features Resistance > 50 Ω to Handle 600 V Surges

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new high pulse, non-inductive, fusible, flameproof metal film resistor that meets the safety requirements of UL1412. The Vishay BCcomponents PR02-FS offers defined fusing characteristics at defined overload conditions and resistance values > 50 Ω to withstand 600 V surges (1.2/50 µs pulse) as defined by IEC 61000-4-5.

With its defined fusing behavior and fast fusing time of < 10 s for an 80 W overload, the device released today is designed to disconnect electronic home appliances such as washing machines and shaver chargers from the power supply. In addition, it provides current limiting in low voltage power supplies for indoor lighting applications. Moreover, due to its inherent non-inductive design, it can be used in applications such as snubber circuits with inductive loads.

The PR02-FS offers a resistance range from 1 Ω to 100 Ω with tolerance down to ± 10 %, TCR of ± 250 ppm/K, rated power dissipation of 2 W at +70 °C, and an operating temperature range from -55 °C to +200 °C. Available in a radial version, the device meets active and passive flammability requirements as defined by IEC 60115-1 and UL 94-V0. The resistor is RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green.

Samples and production quantities of the PR02-FS are available now, with lead times of 8 to 10 weeks for large orders. Pricing for U.S. delivery only is $50 for 1,000 pieces.
