New Source for Bulk Metal®
Foil Resistors Provides Designers With Expert Application Assistance,
Readily Available Foil Resistors
MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (NYSE: VPG) today announced that Integrated
Electronics Technology P. Ltd. (INTRON), an India-based manufacturer and
distributor of resistors, is distributing the complete Vishay Foil
Resistors brand (VFR) product portfolio throughout the country.
Serving the Indian electronics industry for the past 40 years, INTRON’s
mission is to provide precision resistor products for a wide range of
applications. By distributing VFR’s entire portfolio, INTRON is offering
its customers a variety of resistor configurations and package types to
meet their different needs: discrete resistors and resistor networks in
surface mount and through-hole (leaded) configurations, customized chip
resistor networks, precision trimming potentiometers, and discrete chips
for use in hybrid circuits.
VPG’s foil resistors are known worldwide for providing the highest level
of precision and stability in many forms and configurations. As such,
their applications are found in the most advanced equipment in the
electronics industry. In addition to making this technology readily
available within the Indian market, INTRON will provide expert
applications assistance to design engineers to help them improve the
performance of end products with VFR Bulk Metal® Foil
resistors.
“Design engineers in India will benefit from the guidance and expert
applications assistance that INTRON provides in addition to serving as a
reliable source for the full line of VFR foil resistors,” said VFR
Senior Director of Application Engineering Yuval Hernik. “Foil resistor
customers can also be confident, in working with INTRON, of avoiding the
counterfeit devices that have made their appearance on the market and
which have caused confusion about the differences between actual and
published specifications. The consequences of substituting fake
resistors for real Bulk Metal Foil resistors can be very grave indeed.
That’s why it’s more important than ever to know that the foil resistors
you’re using are in fact the high-precision devices you believe them to
be.
“VFR is pleased to have this opportunity to work with INTRON and
anticipates a long and close relationship with mutual success for both
companies in India,” Hernik added. “Additionally, VFR sees this
arrangement as a solid plus for high-end electronics manufacturers in
India because they will now have genuine high-precision resistor
products more immediately available for prototype development, as well
as production, with all the advantages and efficiency of in-country
procurement."
VFR's ultra-precision Bulk Metal® Foil resistor products
provide extremely low temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of
0.05 ppm/°C typical (0 °C to + 60 °C); exceptional long-term stability
to 0.0025 % at 70 °C and 2000 h at rated power; and electrostatic
discharge (ESD) protection to at least 25 kV. These characteristics
allow designers to reduce circuit errors significantly and greatly
improve overall performance in applications requiring a high degree of
precision and stability, such as medical testing equipment,
semiconductor equipment, precision measuring instruments, aerospace, and
military applications.
