Vishay Foil Resistors
Ultra High Precision Vishay Foil Surface Mount Resistors
FEATURES
•
Temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) from
0.2 ppm/°C (military range) with the Z-foil technology
•
Load life stability: to 0.005 % at + 70 °C, at rated power for
more than 10 000 h
•
Tolerance: best to 0.01 %
•
Power coefficient (ΔR due to self heating): to 5 ppm at
rated power for Z-foil resistors
•
Resistance range: from 2 mΩ
•
Vishay Foil resistors are not restricted to standard values,
we can supply specific “as required” values at no extra cost
or delivery (e.g. 1K2345 vs. 1K)
•
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) immunity up to 25 000 V
•
Fast terminal stabilization < 1 s
•
Rise time: 1 ns effectively no ringing
•
Thermal EMF < 0.1 µV/°C (Seebeck effect), especially
critical for low resistive value in DC current/voltage
•
Special non inductive and non capacitive design
•
The short time overload test is also part of the standard
production process (100 %)
•
Vishay Foil resistors have been radiation tested
•
There are four main factors which should be considered
when designing a board: TCR, PCR, thermal EMF and
ESD. Vishay Foil resistors provide the best combination of
the above factors

INTRODUCTION
Many manufacturers and users of precision electronic
equipment suffer unnecessarily with unexplained instabilities
and drifts. They resign themselves to the need for constant
adjustments and troubleshooting which could in fact be
avoided.
Often the instability is traceable to a few “fixed” resistors
which are not fixed at all. If these resistors would only retain
their original values, there would be no need for costly
controls and other compensating circuitry.
The answer? A real precision and stable resistor.
Some precision resistors offer you tight tolerance at the
expense of poor load life stability (1000 h or more), thermal
stabilization and ESD sensitivity, others offer low TCR at the
expense of poor rise time.
Only Vishay Bulk Metal
®
Foil resistors offer you the complete
set of top performance characteristics, including TCR as low
as 0.2 ppm/°C with the Z-foil technology, a combination that
will most often free your equipment from that tormenting bug.
Vishay now offers you the chance to make your own custom
bulk-metal resistors for breadboard, prototype, or even
production use.

ABOUT THE VISHAY BULK METAL FOIL
RESISTOR
Vishay low cost high precision Bulk Metal Foil resistors are
the result of an improved concept in resistor manufacturing:
a proprietary Bulk Metal Foil of known and controllable
properties is applied to a special ceramic substrate.
A resistive pattern is then photo-etched by an ultra-fine
technique developed by Vishay. This process results in
resistor element characteristics of low TCR, long term
stability, non inductive, excellent thermal stabilization, low
capacitance and low noise.
The Bulk Metal Foil is a special alloy chosen for its electrical
mechanical and thermal characteristics. It is set on the
substrate by a unique and proprietary process which does
not subject the resistor element to the metallurgical changes
that occur during the winding of wire, or during the
evaporative process used in other forms of resistor
manufacturing. Because the alloy in the Vishay resistor is not
drawn, wound, work hardened, or stressed in any way during
manufacturing process, the resistor maintains all of its

test and measurement instrumentation, medical systems,
satellites and aerospace systems, commercial and military
avionics, weapons systems, audio systems, and
high-temperature systems including down-hole drilling.

original design, physical and electrical characteristics. The
temperature coefficient of the resistor is carefully controlled
through compensating techniques which essentially
eliminates the effects of the different coefficients of
expansion of the materials used in the resistor.
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 Vishay Foil applications engineering
for assistance in choosing the PMO operations that are right
for their application.
CUSTOM PRODUCT DESIGN
Customers who require additional performance tests are
encouraged to contact our application engineers. Our highly
trained application engineers are available to provide
technical assistance and can help in developing source
control drawings (SCD) which define the proper PMO (post
manufacturing operations) needed to achieve optimum
component reliability, stability and performance. Examples
for PMO tests include: short time overload, power
conditioning, thermal shock, thermal conditioning, etc.
PRODUCTION
Vishay Foil resistors are manufactured in a modern plants
complex under exacting conditions of cleanliness. White
rooms are used in several stages of production. The entire
process is under close quality control surveillance.
Batch handling, similar to the process used in semiconductor
manufacture, ensures uniform quality. Each resistor element
is inspected and processed under high magnification
microscopes.
All materials used in the resistor and in the manufacturing
process are carefully controlled and inspected, with
permanent records maintained. All units are tested
electrically, mechanically and visually for conformance to
specifications.
The resistors are delivered in ESD approved packaging.
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
