Vishay Intertechnology announced that it has expanded its TNPV e3 series of automotive-grade, high-voltage, thin-film, flat-chip resistors with a smaller 0805 case size.
The Vishay Draloric TNPV0805 e3 is the industry's first device of its kind in the compact 0805 housing size to combine high operating voltages of up to 450 V with tight tolerance of ±0.1% and low TCR of up to ±10 ppm/K.
With its small size and high voltage capability, the TNPV0805 e3 reduces component count to save board space and reduces costs by replacing larger resistors and multiple devices in similar case sizes without compromising accuracy.
Typical applications for the AEC-Q200 qualified device will include voltage measurement in automotive and industrial inverters, voltage dividers for battery management systems, onboard chargers, and test and measurement equipment.
The complete TNPV e3 series is available in case sizes 0805, 1206 and 1210, with resistance values from 121 kΩ to 3.01 MΩ, operating temperature range from -55° to +155° C and maximum operating voltage up to 1,000 Go for the largest case size.
The resistors are extremely stable and reliable in a variety of environmental conditions, with excellent load life stability of ≤ 0.05% per 1,000 hours at rated power and ambient temperature of +70°C, superior resistivity to humidity ( 85°C; 85% RH), and sulfur resistance in accordance with ASTM B 809.
The devices are suitable for processing in automatic SMD assembly systems and for automatic soldering. The resistors are halogen-free and RoHS compliant, and their pure matte tin coating provides compatibility with both lead-free (Pb) and lead-containing (Pb) soldering processes.
