INTRODUCTION
Military Established Reliability resistors from Vishay Foil
Resistors (VFR) are available in resistance values from
4.99 Ω through 121 kΩ and with tolerances from ±0.005%
to ±1.0%. The same resistors are also available as non-
qualified products for customers desiring higher or lower
resistance values and the same or better performance
capabilities (see Table 2). Both qualified and non-qualified
versions are manufactured on the same production
line facilities and are subjected to the same process,
lot control, conditioning, and GRP A (100%) screening.
Qualified versions receive additional MIL Group B and
C testing.
The RNC90Y has been the benchmark for high-
precision, established-reliability discrete resistors since
1982. In 2000, our engineers achieved a technological
breakthrough with the introduction of the commercial
ultra-precision, low-TCR Z201 resistor. This breakthrough
allowed for the introduction of a resistor with very low
TCR and an “R” reliability level. The RNC90Z TCR limit of
±2 ppm/°C over the extended range of –55°C to +175°C
is a significant improvement over the existing
RNC90Y specification.
The RNC90Z is a direct replacement for the RNC90Y.

Note
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 reduces the effect of “hot spots” and
improves the long-term stability of Bulk Metal
®
Foil resistors.

CAGE #0066A
“Commercial and Government Entity”
Formerly “FSCM”
The response of military and non military grade resistors to environmental stresses can be made better by “Improved
Performance Testing” (IPT). The IPT part will see burn-in and cycling that removes the “knee” from the normal drift of non
IPT parts. (See Table 4 for the improvement to expect in military parts when calling for VFR recommended screening).
Users should be aware that IPT testing renders the part non QPL and so a 3XXXXX part number will be assigned by VFR.
Consult Applications Engineering for details and ordering advice.
