MALVERN, PA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/03/12 -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced four new engineering design kits for its AEC-Q200-qualified D/CRCW e3 thick film chip resistors. Designed to help engineers select the perfect resistor for their applications, the kits offer the commercial-off-the-shelf devices in 0402, 0603, 0805, and 1206 case sizes and a wide variety of resistance values, conveniently taped in strips and individually labeled and packaged.
The four design kits released today feature E96 series resistance values from 10 ohms to 1 megohm (every fourth value) -- in addition to a 0 ohm jumper -- for 122 different values each. The resistors provide tolerance of 1 %, TCR of 100 ppm/K, power dissipation (P70) from 0.063 W to 0.25 W, and limiting element voltage from 50 V to 200 V.
The D/CRCW e3 thick film chip resistors are ideal for automotive, industrial equipment, telecom infrastructure, consumer, and computer applications. The devices are compliant to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free according to the IEC 61249-2-21 definition.
Samples and production quantities of the new engineering design kits are available now, with lead times of six weeks. Follow Vishay thick film resistors at http://twitter.com/vishayindust.
