Z1 Foil Technology improves overall environmental performances and
long-term stability
MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
VPG Foil Resistors, a product group of Vishay Precision Group, Inc.
(NYSE:VPG) and a manufacturer of the industry’s most precise and stable
precision resistors, today announced a new ultra-high precision
Vishay Foil Resistors molded surface-mount resistor with Z1 Foil
Technology and flexible terminations. The SMR3Z1 resistor meets all of
the criteria that define a precision resistor, including low temperature
coefficient of resistance (TCR), long-term stability, low noise, low
thermal electromotive force (EMF), and non-measurable voltage
coefficient. The product enhances overall circuit stability and
measurement functionalities.

The SMR3Z1 resistor’s low absolute temperature coefficient of resistance
(TCR) reduces errors due to temperature gradients and it can withstand
harsh environmental conditions. These characteristics make the resistor
ideal for the high temperatures and radiation-rich environments found in
down-hole exploration and well logging, and deep-sea underwater
repeaters in transoceanic communications. The molded package design and
flexible terminations ensure minimal stress transference, addressing a
concern in printed circuit board (PCB) applications where chips of 1206
and larger dimensions can delaminate or the PCB can develop cracks from
thermal shock.
The SMR3Z1 resistor is also ideal for applications in precision
amplifiers, differential amplifiers, pulse applications, control
systems, and power supplies, particularly in the medical, industrial,
audio, low frequency, military, aeronautics, and space exploration
industries.
The Vishay Foil Resistors SMR3Z1 resistor is based on Z1 Foil
Technology, the latest generation of Bulk Metal® Foil
technology. Devices with Z1 Foil Technology excel over all previous
stability standards for precision resistors with significant improvement
in environmental stability. They are virtually insensitive to
destabilizing factors. These unique traits are achieved through the use
of a solid alloy that is matched to the ceramic substrate with polyimide
bonding to enable a uniform thickness of the bond line, superior
adhesion strength, and improved resistance to moisture.
Precision resistors built with Bulk Metal® Foil technology
provide very low temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) and
exceptional long-term stability even in extreme temperatures.
Vishay Foil Resistors devices provide a wide range of resistance values,
and can be produced with any resistance value within their given range,
at any tolerance, with no additional cost or lead time effect.
