VCS232Z (Z-Foil) Vishay Foil Resistors Ultra High Precision Z-Foil Power Current Sensing Resistor with Absolute TCR of ± 0.05 ppm/°C, PCR of 5 ppm at Rated Power and Tolerance of ± 0.02 % FEATURES Available RoHS* COMPLIANT • Power Coefficient “ΔR due to self heating”: 4 ppm/W typical INTRODUCTION IM PR O VE D VCS232Z is the industry’s first device to provide high rated power, excellent load life stability, and low TCR - all in one resistor. The Z-Foil Technology provides a significant reduction of the resistive component’s sensitivity to ambient temperature variations (TCR) and applied power changes (PCR). The latest developments in Foil resistors technology have reduced the temperature coefficient of Resistance (TCR): ± 0.05 ppm/°C Absolute TCR removes error due to temperature gradients. By taking advantage of the overall stability and reliability of Vishay’s Bulk Metal® Z-Foil resistors, designers can significantly reduce circuit errors and greatly improve overall circuit performances. Model VCS232Z is a 4 lead kelvin connected device. Our Application Engineering Department is available to advise and make recommendations.
