The PWA series resistor chips offer a 500 mW power rating
in a small size. These offer one of the best combinations of
size and power available.
The PWAs are manufactured using Vishay Electro-Films
(EFI) sophisticated thin film equipment and manufacturing
technology. The PWAs are 100 % electrically tested and
visually inspected to MIL-STD-883.
APPLICATIONS
The PWA resistor chips are used mainly in higher power
circuits of amplifiers where increased power loads require a
more specialized resistor.
