Vishay has introduced a new surface-mount Power Metal Strip resistor with a wide-side terminal structure that can produce a high power rating of 1W in a compact 0612 case size. WSL0612 combines high power ratio, extremely low resistance value (as low as 0.001ohm) and stable resistance tolerance (to 1%).
The advanced construction of the WSL0612 resistor combines solid metal nickel-chromium alloy resistance elements with low TCR (<20ppm / C). This results in a 0612 package size high-power resistor that maintains the excellent electrical characteristics of the Power Metal Strip structure. The small size of the device can be used to design high-power circuits that have minimal resistance and can be used in high-performance end products.
This resistor is ideal for all types of current sensing and pulse applications, including switching and linear power supplies, instruments, power amplifiers, and shunts in automotive electronic controls, such as engines, brushless DC motors, anti-lock brakes, climate, and batteries Management controls; industrial controls, including downhole test / measurement equipment for oil and gas well drilling; inverter control of HVAC systems; server DC / DC converters, laptop computer VRMs, and safety and management of lithium ion batteries .
The power metal strip resistors are fully welded and contribute to their excellent electrical performance. Proprietary processing technology can produce extremely low resistance values, ranging from 0.001ohm to 0.003ohm, with tight tolerances of 1% and 5%. WSL0612 provides low thermal EMF (<3μV / C) with a temperature range of -65C to + 170C. The company stated that the device is lead-free (Pb) and RoHS compliant.
