Space qualified resistors span wide temperature range
The PHR series and TNPS series space qualified resistors from Vishay are now ready for shipment from TTI in Europe. The devices benefit from very high reliability and proven thin film technology. PHR series thin film wrap around resistors are space level ESA qualified according to ESCC4001/023 and offer a wide operating temperature range from -55°C up to +155°C.
Available in various case sizes from 0402 up to 2010, the parts feature a wide ohmic range from 10Ω up to 3MΩ (depending on size), a tight tolerance down to 0.01%, and a tight temperature coefficient down to 5ppm/°C.
Load life stability is 0.15% after 2000h at 70°C at nominal power (0.02% typical). The devices are suitable for use in aerospace, avionics and military applications.
Highly reliable TNPS series thin film chip resistors are ESA approved to ESCC 4001/029 and benefit from SnPb termination plating, minimum 6% Pb.
Technical details include an operating temperature range from -55 up to +125°C, an ohmic range from 10Ω up to 1MΩ (depending on size) and a tolerance down to 0.1%. The components are regularly used in communication and research satellites and fit equally well into aircraft and military electronic systems.
