New Vishay Intertechnology Series of Wide Terminal Thin Film Chip Resistors Features 1 W Power Rating in Compact 0612 Case Si...
September 08 2016 - 11:00AM
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH) today announced that the
company has extended its MCW AT Professional family of wide
terminal thin film chip resistors by supplementing the existing MCW
0406 AT line with an additional case size for power handling of up
to 1 W. For power electronics in industrial and automotive
applications, Vishay Beyschlag MCW 0612 AT Professional devices
provide high power dissipation, high-temperature performance, and
renowned long-term thin film stability.
Offering up to four times higher power dissipation when compared
to standard resistors in the 1206 footprint, the devices released
today significantly lower costs by replacing multiple resistors of
the same size or larger devices with equivalent power ratings.
Furthermore, the wide terminal contact geometry of the MCW 0612 AT
Professional series allows for superior robustness against thermal
cycling. In addition, the resistors offer high operating
temperatures to +175 °C for 1000 hours and advanced sulfur
resistance as verified according to ASTM B 809 by exposure to
sulfur vapor at +90 °C and 80 % to 90 % relative humidity for 42
days.
These specifications allow designers to use MCW 0612 AT
Professional series resistors in harsh and high-temperature
environments without compromising power rating or electrical
performance, as well as to comply with today’s requirements for
miniaturization. The devices are equally effective whether the
application requires their full power capability or only a fraction
of the nominal rated dissipation in order to gain improved
stability. The resistors feature TCR down to ± 25 ppm/K,
tolerance to ± 0.5 %, and a resistance range from 10 Ω to 100
kΩ.
The MCW 0612 AT Professional series is the perfect choice for
most fields of modern professional power electronics in which power
dissipation, reliability, stability, and robust design are major
concerns. Typical applications will include power measurement and
control in lighting, inverters for hybrid electric vehicles (HEV)
and electric vehicles (EV), engine control units, gear box
controls, and braking and steering systems. For automotive
applications, the resistors are qualified according to
AEC-Q200.
Samples and production quantities of the MCW 0612 AT
Professional series are available now, with lead times of eight to
10 weeks for large orders. Pricing for U.S. delivery in minimum
order quantities starts at $0.092.
