Product Group: Vishay Dale, Resistors / February 2016 Author: Bryan Yarborough Tel: +1 (402) 910-1414 E-mail: [email protected] New WSK1206…18 Power Metal Strip® Resistor Features Power to 0.5 W and Kelvin 4-Terminal Connection for Increased Measurement Accuracy and Reduced TCR Product Benefits: Compact 1206 case size High 0.5 W power rating Kelvin 4-terminal connection TCR down to 35 ppm Tight tolerances down to 0.1 % Low resistance values down to 0.01 Ω All-welded construction Low thermal EMF (< 3 μV/°C) Temperature range from -65 °C to +170 °C RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green Market Applications: Current sensing, voltage division, and pulse applications Power management for cell phones DC/DC converters for servers, VRMs for laptops, and Li-Ion battery safety and management Industrial instrumentation Automotive electronic control such as engine, transmission, anti-lock brakes, audio, and climate controls Buy It Now Check distributor stock on the Vishay website The News: Vishay Intertechnology announces a new surface-mount Power Metal Strip current sense resistor in the compact 1206 case size that combines an extended power rating to 0.5 W with a Kelvin 4terminal connection that reduces TCR and enables tight tolerances down to 0.1 % for increased measurement accuracy. To minimize excess power dissipation, the Vishay Dale WSK1206...18 High Power offers low resistance values down to 0.01 Ω. Offers twice the power of standard resistors in the 1206 footprint Saves board space and reduces costs by allowing designers to utilize fewer and smaller components Product Group: Vishay Dale, Resistors / February 2016 Reduces system errors while eliminating the need for system calibration during manufacturing or in the field Further reduces costs and improves end product performance Advanced construction incorporates a solid metal nickel-chrome or manganese-copper resistive element with low TCR (< 20 ppm/°C) Proprietary processing technique produces extremely low resistance values The Key Specifications: Power rating of 0.5 W Resistance range from 0.01 Ω to 0.05 Ω Tolerances of 0.1 %, 0.25 %, 0.5 %, and 1.0 % TCR of 35 ppm Temperature range from -65 °C to +170 °C Availability: Samples and production quantities of the new resistor are available now, with a lead time of six to eight weeks for larger orders.
