The News:
Vishay Releases Industry's First Professional Automotive Thin
Film Chip Resistor in the 0603 Case Size to Combine High Temperature up to
+175 °C and Advanced Power Rating P85 of 150
mW
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) announces the industry's first
professional automotive thin film chip resistor in the 0603 case size to
combine a high operating temperature to +175 °C (1000 hours) and an
advanced level of rated power.
- The high power rating, resistance to humidity, and high-temperature
performance of the new chip resistor meet the automotive requirements of
today and the future
- Optimized to provide high reliability in harsh environments
- CECC approval ensures the device meets a set of demanding and
sophisticated short-term and long-term performance requirements as defined
by EN 140401-801
- Compliance is verified through periodic audits by an
independent and external testing and certification agency
- Complies with the GADSL and the CEFIC-EECA-EICTA list of legal
restrictions on hazardous substances, including:
- 2000/53/EC End of Vehicle life (ELV) and 2000/53/EC
Annex II to End of Vehicle Life (ELV II) directives
- 2002/95/EC Restriction of the use of Hazardous
Substances (RoHS)
- 2002/96/EC Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Directive (WEEE)
- Will be extended to 0805 and 1206 case sizes in 2008, and Vishay will
introduce a precision version of the series
Key Device Specifications:
- 0603 case size
- 0.85 mm by 1.55 mm package with 0.45 mm profile
- Operating temperature to +175 °C (1000 hours)
- Power rating P85 of 150 mW
- Moisture resistivity specified to ≤ 0.5 % (+85 °C; 85 %
RH; 1000
h)
- Absolute TCR down to ±25 ppm/K
- 0.5 % tolerance
- Resistance values from 100 Ω to 100 kΩ
- 75 V operating voltage
The Perspective:
The new Vishay Beyschlag MCT 0603 AT is designed to meet the automotive
requirements of today and the future. The device is the industry's first
professional automotive thin film chip resistor in the 0603 case size to
combine a high operating temperature to +175 °C (1000 hours) and an
advanced level of rated power. While most thin film chip resistors offer
power ratings to 100 mW at +70 °C ambient temperature, the power
rating of the MCT 0603 AT is specified to 150 mW at +85 °C. This high
power rating, combined with the device's high-temperature performance and
excellent moisture resistivity specified to . 0.5 %, allow the
AEC-Q200-compliant resistor to provide high reliability in harsh
environments.
Availability:
Samples and production quantities of the new MCT 0603 AT resistor are
available now with lead times of five to six weeks for larger orders.
