Vishay New High-Power Thin Film Chip Resistors Replace Large Devices or Multiple Resistors of Same Size to Reduce Cost and Space Saving

The automotive form factor is 0402, 0603 and 0805, with the industry's highest 0.4W power dissipation.

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. today announced the availability of the new series of automotive grade film chip resistors 0402, 0603 and 0805 - the MCS 0402 HP, the MCT 0603 HP and the MCU 0805 HP - with the industry's highest rated power consumption Scattered Vishay Beyschlag MC HP Series devices are used in electronics for automotive, industrial and renewable energy applications. They operate up to + 175 ° C and have a load life drift of less than 0.2% after 1000 hours of operation at nominal dissipation.

The MCS 0402 HP, MCT 0603 HP, and MCU 0805 HP dissipate up to 0.4W of rated power twice the size of a standard, thin-film chip resistor and exceed the dissipated power of the next largest form factor. This allows designers to replace larger devices with smaller resistors or replace multiple resistors of the same size to save space, reduce component count, and reduce costs.

The devices introduced today are AEC-Q200 certified, with resistance values from 1Ω to 100kΩ, TCR down to ± 25ppm / K, and tolerances as low as ± 0.1%. MC HP Series has very good temperature cycle stability, excellent sulfur resistance through the ASTM B 809 certification. The device is Pb-free, RoHS compliant and is suitable for processing on automated chip assembly systems.

The MCS0402 HP, MCT 0603 HP, and MCU 0805 HP are great choices for modern electronics in most scenarios, where power dissipation, reliability, stability, and reliability are the top priorities. Typical applications include DC / DC converters, power supplies, motor and electronic control units, inverters, and test and measurement equipment.
