New WSLS2512 Surface-Mount Power Metal Strip® Resistor

The Key Benefits:
• Current sensing in high-temperature (+125 ºC) applications
• Greater stability with maximum resistance change of 0.5 % through a 2000-hour workload
• Proprietary manufacturing techniques result in a very low 0.01-Ω to 0.1-Ω resistance value range
• Durable with all-welded construction and a solid metal nickel-chrome alloy resistive element

The Key Applications: Current sensing in high-temperature (+125 ºC), tightened-stability applications that require precision current monitoring of sensitive circuits, such as automotive electronic controls including engine, transmission and pollution controls.

The News:

Vishay’s New WSLS2512 Surface-Mount Power Metal Strip® Resistor Offers Increased Stability With Low Resistance Change of 0.5 % in Low Resistance Values of 0.01 Ω to 0.1 Ω

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) announces a new surface-mount Power Metal Strip® resistor that offers improved resistance stability during operation with a maximum resistance change of 0.5 % through a 2000-hour workload. By comparison, the typical current sensing resistor has a resistance stability of ≥1 % through a 1000-hour workload.

• Specially selected materials which allow for current sensing in high-temperature (+125 ºC), tightened-stability applications
• Features all-welded construction with a solid metal nickel-chrome alloy resistive element for enhanced resistance stability
• Manufactured using proprietary techniques that result in extremely low resistance values

 

Key Device Specifications:

• Temperature range of –65 ºC to +170 ºC
• Very low 0.01-Ω to 0.1-Ω resistance value range
• Tight tolerance down to ±0.5 %
• Low RTC values down to ±30 ppm/ºC
• All-welded construction with a solid metal nickel-chrome alloy resistive element
• Low inductance values of 0.5 nH to 2.0 nH

The Perspective: Vishay’s new WSLS2512 surface-mount Power Metal Strip® resistor offers increased stability with a low resistance change of 0.5 % and low resistance values of 0.01 Ω to 0.1 Ω for current sensing in high-temperature (+125 ºC), tightened-stability applications.

Availability: Samples of the new resistor will be available in February 2007. Production quantities will be available in Q3 2007, with a lead time of eight weeks for larger orders.
