Vishay Intertechnology WSHP2818 Automotive Grade Power Metal Strip® Resistor Saves PCB Space and Reduces Component Counts
April 17 2017 - 11:00AM
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH) today introduced a new
Automotive Grade Power Metal Strip® resistor that delivers a high
10 W power rating in the compact 2818 case size. By providing the
high power capability of larger resistors in a smaller footprint,
the Vishay Dale WSHP2818 is designed to save space and reduce
component counts in automotive, industrial, consumer, and computer
applications while offering a surface-mount alternative to leaded
resistors.
The device released today features a proprietary construction
that incorporates an improved thermal management design, resulting
in a 10 W resistor in the 2818 package size that maintains the
superior electrical characteristics of the Power Metal Strip
construction. With its high power density, the AEC-Q200 qualified
resistor can be used instead of larger high power components or
multiple lower power devices, reducing board space requirements and
enabling the design of smaller and lighter end products.
The WSHP2818 features extremely low resistance values from 1 mΩ
to 100 mΩ, with tolerances down to ± 0.5 %. The device’s all-welded
construction is ideal for all types of current sensing, voltage
division, and pulse applications in automotive engine controls and
anti-lock braking systems, brushless DC motor controls, and battery
management for electric and hybrid vehicles; down-hole test and
measurement equipment; inverter controls for air conditioners and
heat pumps; and DC/DC converters and VRMs for servers.
The resistor features a solid metal nickel-chrome or
manganese-copper alloy resistive element with low TCR (± 20
ppm/°C), low inductance values of < 5 nH, low thermal EMF down
to < 3 µV/°C, and an operating temperature range of -65 °C to
+170 °C. The device is RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay
Green.
Samples and production quantities of the WSHP2818 are available
now, with a lead time of six to eight weeks for larger orders.
