Vishay Intertechnology AEC-Q200 Qualified Thick Film High Power Resistors Reduce Component Counts, Lower Costs
February 19 2020 - 11:00AM
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced the first
high power resistors on the market to be offered with the AEC-Q200
automotive qualification. Designed for direct mounting on a
heatsink, the Vishay Sfernice LPSA 300, LPSA 600, and LPSA 800
deliver high power dissipation and pulse handling capabilities to
help designers reduce component counts and lower costs in
automotive applications.
The devices released today will serve as precharge or discharge
resistors for inverters, and converters in electric vehicles (EV),
hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), and plug-in hybrid electric
vehicles (PHEV). With rated power of 300 W, 600 W, and 800 W,
respectively, the LPSA 300, LPSA 600, and LPSA 800 enable designers
to replace multiple lower power components with a single resistor
in these applications. In addition, their pulse capability from 400
J to 1500 J for pulses from 0.05 s to 0.5 s allows them to replace
larger wirewound resistors to save board space.
The LPSA 300, LPSA 600, and LPSA 800 offer high temperature
operation to +175 °C and a broad range of resistance values
from 0.03 Ω to 900 kΩ. They are also capable of high
dielectric strength up to 12 kV RMS. The RoHS-compliant devices
offer a non-inductive design, tolerances down to ± 1 %, and
superior automotive reliability test results (i.e., extensive
temperature cycling at 1,000 cycles and 1,000 hours of operational
life).
Samples and production quantities of the new resistors are
available now, with lead times of 10 to 12 weeks.
