MALVERN, PA — Vishay Intertechnology Inc. (NYSE: VSH) introduced a new series of AEC-Q200 qualified thick film chip resistors in the 0201 case size for automotive, industrial and telecommunications applications.
The CRCW0201-AT e3 series measures 0.6 mm by 0.3 mm by 0.23 mm and is designed to reduce printed circuit board space requirements compared with larger 0402 devices, the company said.
Vishay said the new resistors reduce PCB area requirements by 50% compared with the next-larger case size while maintaining electrical performance and reliability.
The devices offer a power rating of 0.05 W at 70 degrees Celsius and an operating voltage of 30 V, with an operating temperature range from minus 55 degrees Celsius to plus 155 degrees Celsius.
They are available with resistance values from 10 ohms to 1 megaohm, including a 0-ohm jumper option, with tolerances of plus or minus 1% and 5% and a temperature coefficient of resistance of plus or minus 200 ppm/K.
The resistors are RoHS-compliant and halogen-free and are suitable for reflow or vapor phase soldering. Vishay said samples and production quantities are available with lead times of approximately 12 weeks.
Vishay manufactures discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components for automotive, industrial, computing, telecommunications and other markets.
