MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (NYSE: VPG) today announced that its Vishay
Foil Resistors brand (VFR) and element14 will present a live webinar
titled “There Is More to Resistor Precision Than Meets the Eye” on July
31. The 60-minute event, which begins at 3 p.m. GMT (10 a.m. EDT), will
cover the electrical properties and stress factors of all three major
resistor types: thick film, thin film, and Bulk Metal® Foil.
“These resistors may look similar, and in some cases the specifications
may also appear similar,” said Rod Myall, senior application engineer
for Vishay Foil Resistors, who will be among the webinar presenters.
“But each technology has a very different construction, resulting in
major performance differences.”
The July 31 session will explore these differences by explaining the
theory behind the resistor technologies and the conditions that can
affect and influence resistors during their operational life, and by
providing a few demonstrations of comparative resistor performance, with
particular attention to temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) and
power coefficient of resistance (PCR). After the presentation, attendees
will be given a link through which they may watch further demonstrations.
The webinar is free, with advance registration required at http://www.element14.com/community/events/3736.
