Vishay Offers MIL-PRF-55342-Qualified Resistor Chips

September 21, 2004 by Jeff Shepard

Vishay Intertechnology Inc. (Malvern, PA) announced the release of its E/H MIL-qualified resistor chips in new 0402, 0603 and 0502 case sizes that provide greater flexibility in selecting devices for circuits requiring high-performing, high-precision established reliability resistors. Intended for high-reliability military applications with stringent performance requirements, the new resistor chips meet MIL-PRF-55342 specifications.

The E/H resistors' electroplated nickel barrier layer enables operation at temperatures up to +150 °C, and the high-purity alumina substrate allows for high power ratings. In addition to low noise of less than -25 dB, and a low voltage coefficient of ±0.5 ppm/V, the non-inductive E/H devices feature an absolute TCR down to ±25 ppm/°C, tolerances down to 0.1%, typical wraparound resistance of less than 0.010 ohms, and in-lot tracking of less than 5 ppm/°C.

Samples and production quantities of the new devices are available now, with a lead time of stock to 10 weeks for larger orders. Pricing for US delivery is typically $1.00 per 1,000 pieces.
