Wouldn’t it be nice to resist the stress transients in life with an internal high-power resistor? Well… that might never be the case for you or me, but at least we can include them in our circuits. Vishay’s anti-surge, high power, thick film chip resistors combine a significantly higher power rating and pulse load performance when compared to standard chip resistors. With superior ESD charge characteristics, these resistors are ideal for automotive, industrial, telecommunications, and medical applications.
The small packaging allows for placement on any circuit board and passes industry standard stress test qualification for passive components. These thick film chip resistors offer a large resistance range and low-temperature coefficient with an operating temperature that goes up to +155°C. Finally, resistance tolerances range from ±0.5% up to ±1% or ±5% with a maximum resistance change of less than 1% over 1000 hours for the ultimate reliability.
