Vishay Intertechnology PATT Precision Automotive Qualified Thin Film Chip Resistor Now Available in 0402 and 1206 Case Sizes

Vishay Intertechnology (News - Alert), Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced that it has extended its PATT precision automotive thin film chip resistor family with devices in the 0402 and 1206 case sizes. The devices are available with gold-plated terminals for conventional solder assembly and conductive glueable board mount technologies. Providing an 85 °C extension in operating temperature range over most conventional chip resistors, the thin film PATT features high-temperature operation to +155 °C with 100 % power dissipation, derated linearly to +250 °C. The AEC-Q200-qualified device offers a low absolute TCR down to ± 25 ppm/°C and laser-trimmed tolerances down to ± 0.1 %. The part features an intrinsic moisture-protected resistor element built on tantalum nitride technology.

With a load-life stability of < 0.2 % at +155 °C and full rated power dissipation for 1,000 hours, the Vishay Dale Thin Film resistor released today is optimized for the low-noise analog signal processing required to compensate for low offset and temperature drift in high-temperature environments such as gain setting in ultra-low noise and precision analog digital processors and high-gain audio amplifiers; under-the-hood automotive applications; high-precision oil and gas exploration; industrial in-line testers; metering; and telecommunications and industrial equipment.

Offered in 0402, 0603, 0805, and 1206 case sizes, the PATT provides a wide resistance range from 1 O to 1 MO. The device features very low noise of < -30 dB, a low voltage coefficient of 0.1 ppm/V, power dissipation ratings from 50 mW to 400 mW, and 75 V to 200 V maximum working voltages.

The resistor features a high-purity ceramic substrate, 10 µin (0.254 µm) gold terminations over nickel barrier for high-temperature HMP soldering or conductive gluing bonding, and withstands ESD to 2 kV per AEC-Q200 Class 1C. The device is moisture-resistant according to MIL-STD-202, method 106; flame-resistant according to AEC-Q200-001; sulfur-resistant per ASTM B809-95 humid vapor test; and 100 % visually inspected per MIL-PRF-55342.

The PATT is halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and Vishay Green.

Samples and production quantities of the PATT resistor in the 0402 and 1206 case sizes are available now, with lead times of eight weeks.
