with Power Rating to 1 W and Temperature Coefficient of Resistance of
:
± 0.05 ppm/°C and Power Coefficient of 5 ppm at Rated Power
FEATURES
NEW
INTRODUCTION
The Z-foil technology provides a significant reduction of the
resistive component’s sensitivity to ambient temperature
variations (TCR) and applied power changes (PCR).
Designers can now guarantee a high degree of stability and
accuracy in fixed-resistor applications using solutions based
on VPG’s revolutionary Z-foil technology.
Model VCS1625ZP is a surface mount chip resistor designed
with 4 pads for Kelvin connection. Utilizing VPG’s Bulk
Metal
®
Z-foil as the resistance element, it provides
performance capabilities far greater than other resistor
technologies can supply in a product of comparable size.
0.05 ppm/°C absolute TCR removes errors due to
temperature gradients.
This small device dissipates heat almost entirely through the
pads so surface mount users are encouraged to be generous
with the board’s pads and traces.
Our application engineering department is available to
advise and to make recommendations. For non-standard
technical requirements and special applications, please

* To acquire a precision resistance value, the Bulk Metal Foil chip is trimmed by
selectively removing built-in “shorting bars.” To increase the resistance in known
increments, marked areas are cut, producing progressively smaller increases in
resistance. This method eliminates the effect of “hot spot” and improves the long term
stability of the hybrid chips.

POST MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS OR PMO
Military applications can include requirements for
performance under conditions of stress beyond the normal
and over extended periods of time. This calls for more than
just selecting a standard device and applying it to a circuit.
The standard device may turn out to be all that is needed but
an analysis of the projected service conditions should be
made and it may well dictate a routine of stabilization known
as post manufacturing operations or PMO. The PMO
operations that will be discussed are only applicable to Foil
resistors. They stabilize Foil resistors while they are harmful
to other types. Short time overload, accelerated load life, and
temperature cycling are the three PMO exercises that do the
most to remove the anomalies down the road. Foil resistors
are inherently stable as manufactured. These PMO
exercises are only of value on foil resistors and they improve
the performance by small but significant amounts. Users are
encouraged to contact VPG's Foil applications engineering
for assistance in choosing the PMO operations that are right
for their application.
