Flat Chip Resistors provide ±0.05% stability.
Press Release Summary:
Available in case sizes from 0402-2512, TNPW e3 Series Thin Film Resistors provide stable operation, even under harsh environmental conditions. They feature tolerances as low as ±0.1%, TCR values from ±50 to ±10 ppm/K, and standard resistance values from 10 W to 8.87 MW. RoHS-compliant devices are suited for automotive, telecommunications, industrial, aerospace, medical, and test and measuring equipment.
Original Press Release:
Vishay's New High-Stability Thin-Film Flat Chip Resistors...
Feature Stability of ±0.05%, Temperature Testing up to 200°C, Reliability in Extreme Environmental Conditions
MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA September 13, 2006 Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced the release of the new TNPW e3 series of high-stability thin-film flat chip resistors in seven industry-standard sizes.
Vishays new TNPW e3 thin-film flat chip resistors are optimized for modern electronics applications that call for high stability and reliability. Typical applications include automotive, telecommunications, industrial, aerospace, medical equipment, and precision test and measuring equipment.
The TNPW e3 devices provide extremely stable and reliable operation even under harsh environmental conditions. The resistors offer high load life stability of ±0.05% and superior moisture resistivity of ±0.25% after 85°C / 85% Relative Humidity for 56 days. The resistors are tested at load life 200°C for 1000h showing deviation of ±0.25 % after this test.
With a variety of different case sizes available ranging from 0402 up to 2512 the new resistors cover the whole range of rated power dissipation. The devices feature tolerances as low as ±0.1% and TCR values ranging from ±50 ppm/K to as low as ±10 ppm/K. Standard resistance values range from 10 W to 8.87 MW.
The new series of resistors are suitable for processing on automatic SMD assembly systems and for automatic soldering using wave, reflow, or vapor phase. The devices are RoHS- compliant, and their pure tin plating provides compatibility with lead (Pb)-free and lead (Pb)-containing soldering processes.
Summary Table: New Thin-Film Flat Chip Resistors Optimized for Stability and Reliability
Samples and production quantities of the TNPW e3 resistors are available now, with typical lea d times of six to eight weeks for larger orders. Pricing varies with size, TCR, tolerance, and resistance values.
