Precision resistors for industrial, medical and automotive

Rutronik is stocking precision thin-film surface-mount resistors from Vishay, for industrial, medical and
automotive use – all are AEC-Q200 qualified, sulphur tested and RoHS compliant.

TNPW e3 resistors are an “economical alternative in the thin-film range”, said the component distributor, “ideally suited for industrial and automotive use”.

Size options are 0201, 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206 and 1210, tolerance can be as good as ±0.1%, and temperature stability can be ±10ppm/°C, except for the 0201 size which is ±25ppm/°C at its best.


The highest resistance available is 3.01MΩ.


Operating range is again -55 to +175°C, humidity effects (|ΔR/R|) are under 0.1% (85°C 85%RH 1,000h).

Sulphur resistance testing is to ASTM B 809 (90ºC 1,000h) and ANSI/EIA-977 (105ºC 1,000h).
