Vishay Intertechnology Enhances Anti-Surge Thick Film Power Resistor in 0805 Case Size With Higher 0.5 W Power Rating
Vishay Intertechnology has announced an upgrade to its Vishay Draloric RCS0805 e3 anti-surge thick film resistor, now featuring a 0.5 W power rating. This enhanced product reduces board space requirements by replacing multiple standard resistors. The RCS0805 e3 is AEC-Q200 qualified with a resistance range of 1 Ω to 10 MΩ and offers superior pulse load performance and ESD surge characteristics. Suitable for automotive, industrial, telecommunications, and medical applications, it operates at 150 V and -55 °C to +155 °C. Samples are available with a lead time of 12 weeks.
- Increased power rating to 0.5 W enhances product versatility.
- Reduces board space by substituting multiple standard resistors.
- Superior pulse load performance and ESD surge characteristics compared to standard resistors.
- Broad resistance range (1 Ω to 10 MΩ) with high tolerances enhances design flexibility.
- None.
AEC-Q200 Qualified Device Saves Board Space While Lowering Component Counts and Placement Costs
MALVERN, Pa., March 29, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced that it has enhanced the Vishay Draloric RCS0805 e3 anti-surge thick film resistor in the 0805 case size with a higher power rating of 0.5 W.
With its increased power rating, the RCS0805 e3 can now be used in place of four standard parallel resistors in the 0805 case size; two parallel devices in the larger 1206 case size; or one resistor in the 1210 case size. This allows designers to save board space in automotive, industrial, telecommunications, and medical applications while lowering component counts and reducing placement costs. For applications subject to high and repetitive surge pulses, the resistor also offers superior pulse load performance and ESD surge characteristics when compared to standard chip resistors.
AEC-Q200 qualified, the RCS0805 e3 features a resistance range from 1 Ω to 10 MΩ — and 0 Ω jumper — with tolerances of ± 0.5 %, ± 1 %, and ± 5 %, and TCR of ± 100 ppm/K and ± 200 ppm/K. The resistor offers an operating voltage of 150 V and an operating temperature range of -55 °C to +155 °C. RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, the device is suitable for processing on automatic assembly systems and for wave, reflow, or vapor phase soldering per IEC 61760-1.
Samples of the enhanced RCS0805 e3 are available now, with lead times of 12 weeks.
