High-Stability Vishay Resistor Chips Offer Resistance Values From 0.1 Ohm to 100 M Ohm
Thick Film Resistor Family Provides Wide Ohmic Value Range for Industrial, Professional, and High-reliability Applications
MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA - April 30, 2004 - Featuring a resistance range of 0.1 ohm to 100 Mohm, the new family of high-stability, thick film resistor chips from Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) is designed for professional, industrial, military and other high-reliability applications requiring robust and reliable operation in extended temperature operating conditions. The new devices are particularly suited to calibration, power supplies, RF circuits and digital-to-analog conversion designs.
The Vishay Sfernice thick film resistor chips includes CHP series standard passivated resistors and HCHP series resistors for higher frequency applications. Established reliability versions are also available. Each series covers the resistance range 0.1 ohm to 100 Mohm, with 0.5 % tolerance and 100 ppm/°C temperature coefficient versions available from 10 ohm to 5 Mohm. Twelve case sizes are available in industry standard SMD packages, from 0502 to 2512. Nickel terminations are either pre-tinned for standard surface mount and reflow, or with gold over nickel for use with high-temperature solders or other applications including wire bonding or gluing.
The Vishay Sfernice resistors feature sputtered thin film terminations with a nickel barrier for high robustness to thermal cycling and shocks, and deliver the close tolerance, high-stability, wide ohmic range, high peak power, and high frequency performance benefits of thick film resistors.
Independent approvals include NFC-83-240, CECC 40 401, and MIL-R-55342 D. The established reliability versions include the RR-series, certified to EN 140 401 802, and the soon-to-be-qualified CHPHR-series. The thick film chip resistors are available in waffle pack or in 8-mm tape and reel up to 4000 units per reel. Pricing for U.S. delivery in 10,000-piece quantities is $ 1.27 each.
Vishay, a Fortune 1,000 Company listed on the NYSE, is one of the world's largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductors (diodes, rectifiers, transistors, optoelectronics, and selected ICs) and passive electronic components (resistors, capacitors, inductors, and transducers). The Company's components can be found in products manufactured in a very broad range of industries worldwide. Vishay is headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania, and has plants in 17 countries employing over 25,000 people. Vishay can be found on the Internet at www.vishay.com.
