Vishay Intertechnology Inc.'s new high-precision Bulk Metal surface-mount Power Metal Strip resistor features an improved load-life stability of ¡Ó0.05 percent at 70¢XC for 2,000hr at rated power, an absolute TCR of ¡Ó15ppm/¢XC from -55¢XC to 125¢XC, 25¢XC Ref., and a tolerance of ¡Ó0.1 percent.
The improved resistance stability of the CSM2512S makes it ideal for tightened-stability voltage division and precision current sensing applications in switching linear power supplies, power amplifiers, measurement instrumentation, bridge networks, and medical and test equipment. In addition, the CSM2512S complies with EEE-INST-002 (MIL-PRF 55342 and MIL-PRF 49465) for military and space applications.
The CSM2512S is rated at 1W and can support maximum current up to 18A in a four-terminal Kelvin configuration for increased accuracy. Any value at any tolerance is available within the resistance range of 10m¦¸ to 100m¦¸.
