MALVERN, PA — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) has announced a major upgrade to its line of AEC-Q200 qualified thin film MELF resistors, offering significantly enhanced precision for demanding applications requiring high stability and reliability. The Vishay Beyschlag MMU 0102, MMA 0204, and MMB 0207 resistors now support resistance values up to 10 MΩ, tighter tolerances of ± 0.1%, and low temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) down to ± 15 ppm/K.
These improvements mark a significant leap in performance compared to Vishay’s previous MELF resistor offerings. For instance, the new MMA 0204 resistor in the 0204 case size now provides resistance of up to 5.11 MΩ at a TCR of ± 25 ppm/K and tolerance of ± 0.1%—a tenfold increase over the prior limit of 511 kΩ for devices with the same specifications. Additionally, the enhanced MMA 0204 achieves 1 MΩ at an even lower TCR of ± 15 ppm/K, underscoring its precision capabilities.
Benefits for High-Stability Applications
The expanded resistance range and improved specifications make these resistors ideal for applications where stability and reliability are critical, such as automotive electronics and industrial equipment. The high resistance values allow a single resistor to replace multiple lower-value resistors previously connected in series. This not only reduces required circuit board space but also simplifies designs and lowers overall costs.
The updated TCR values and tight tolerances translate to greater accuracy and stability, ensuring reliable performance even in harsh operating conditions. These qualities make the Vishay Beyschlag MMU 0102, MMA 0204, and MMB 0207 resistors a standout choice for engineers seeking optimal performance in high-end applications.
With this latest enhancement, Vishay continues to push the boundaries of resistor technology, delivering solutions that meet the rigorous demands of today’s advanced electronic systems.
