Thin Film Resistors meet MIL-PRF-83401 requirements.

Press Release Summary:




Offered in 6-, 8-, and 10-pin configurations, Series M83401 provides TCR of ±25 ppm/°C and tight ratio tolerances to ±0.05%. Through-hole, single-in-line devices utilize SPM passivated Tamelox film for less than -30 dB noise, voltage coefficient of less than 0.1 ppm/V, and power ratings from 0.06-0.120 mW/element. Featuring molded thermoset plastic construction with gold-plated copper alloy leads, resistors operate from -55 to +125°C with resistance range of 100 W to 200 kW.

Vishay Intertechnology Introduces New MIL-PRF-83401-Qualified Single-in-Line Thin Film Resistor Network



Available in 6-, 8-, and 10-Pin Configurations, Device Features TCR of ± 25 ppm/°C and Tight Ratio Tolerances to ± 0.05 %

MALVERN, Pa. - Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (VSH: NYSE) today introduced a new MIL-PRF-83401-qualified (cage code 57489) through-hole, single-in-line thin film resistor network. Featuring low absolute TCR of ± 25 ppm/°C, TCR tracking of 5 ppm/°C, and tight ratio tolerances to ± 0.05 %, the M83401 will outperform all the requirements of MIL-PRF-83401 R, V, and H characteristics.

The resistor network released today offers three to nine resistors and is available in 6-, 8-, and 10-pin low-profile configurations in isolated (G) and pin one common (C) schematic styles. The type RZ070, RZ080, RZ090, RZ210, RZ220, and RZ230 device features 100 % burn-in screening for increased reliability in demanding military applications.

The M83401 features Vishay Dale Thin Film's patented SPM passivated Tamelox film for very low noise of < - 30 dB, voltage coefficient of < 0.1 ppm/V, power ratings from 0.06 mW to 0.120 mW per element (0.18 W to 1.0 W per package), and a wide resistance range of 100 W to 200 kW per resistor. The device operates over a temperature range of - 55 °C to + 125 °C.

Offering a low 4.95 mm (0.197 in) maximum seated height, the resistor network features a rugged, molded thermoset plastic construction with gold-plated copper alloy leads. The leads are attached to the metallized alumina substrates by thermocompression bonding. The M83401 is also available in a commercial version: the C83401.

Samples of the M83401 and C83401 resistor networks are available now. Production lead times are 12 to 14 weeks for standard orders. Pricing for U.S. delivery only starts at $4 to $5 per piece and varies by pin count. Follow Vishay thin film resistor networks at twitter.com/vishayindust.
