Compact Non-Magnetic Thin Film Chip Resistors are rated up to 6 W.

Press Release Summary:




Built on aluminum nitride substrates and supplied in 1206 and 2512 case sizes, surface mount PCNM series delivers power ratings from 2–6 W for telecommunications, medical, and military applications. Backside terminations minimize thermal resistance to promote power handling capability. Along with TCR down to ± 25 ppm/°C and laser-trimmed tolerances to ±0.1% over -55 to +155°C range, characteristics include resistance values from 2 Ω to 30.1 kΩ, noise of <-30 dB, and ratings from 75–200 V.

Vishay Intertechnology Precision Non-Magnetic Thin Film Chip Resistors Deliver High Power Ratings to 6 W in Small Sizes



Surface-Mount Devices Built on Aluminum Nitride Substrates for Telecommunications, Medical, and Military Applications



MALVERN, Pa. — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new series of high-power, surface-mount, precision non-magnetic thin film chip resistors. Built on aluminum nitride substrates, the Vishay Dale Thin Film PCNM series offers power ratings of 2 W and 6 W in compact 1206 and 2512 case sizes, respectively.



The aluminum nitride substrates of the resistors released today feature enlarged backside terminations to reduce the thermal resistance between the topside resistor layer and the solder joint on the end user's circuit assembly. As a result, the devices provide four times the power-handling capability of previous-generation non-magnetic resistors.



These high power ratings make the devices ideal for use in power supplies for telecommunications, medical, and military equipment and instrumentation. The resistors’ non-magnetic properties eliminate the effects of stray magnetic fields on circuit performance in X-ray and MRI machines while correcting passive intermodulation issues in cell phone base stations and amplifiers.



PCNM series devices combine their high power ratings with a low TCR down to ± 25 ppm/°C and laser-trimmed tolerances to ± 0.1 % over a wide temperature range of -55 °C to +155 °C. The resistors are offered with a wide range of resistance values from 2 Ω to 30.1 kΩ, and they offer low noise of < -30 dB, low voltage coefficients of < 0.1 ppm/V, and voltage ratings from 75 V to 200 V.



Flame-resistant in accordance with UL 94 V-0, the devices are available with lead (Pb)-bearing and lead (Pb)-free, RoHS-compliant terminations.



Samples and production quantities of the PCNM series are available now, with lead times of eight to 10 weeks for large orders. Pricing for U.S. delivery starts at $0.60 per piece in 1,000-piece quantities and varies by case size and tolerance.
