Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. today announced that it has enhanced its PAT series of AEC-Q200-qualified precision automotive thin film chip resistors with an extended resistance range from 2.5 Ω to 3 MΩ. Designed to meet automotive industry requirements for temperature and humidity while offering consistent repeatability and stable performance, the Vishay Dale Thin Film devices feature a low standard TCR of ± 25 ppm/degree C and laser-trimmed tolerances down to ± 0.1%.
Recommended: High Density Synchronous Boost Converter Delivers Up to 10W
Featuring a tantalum nitride resistor film on a high-purity alumina substrate, the PAT resistors offer load-life stability of < 0.05% at +70 degrees C for 1,000 hours and an ESD rating of 2kV. Designed for the low-noise single-signal processing required to compensate for low offset and temperature drift in high-temperature applications, the devices are optimized for hybrid / electronic controls, energy management, measurement, sensor scales, and stable fixed resistor applications in automotive electronics.

The PAT devices are resistant to moisture at +85 degrees C, 85% relative humidity, and 10% rated power per MIL-STD-202, method 202; flame-resistant in accordance to UL 94 V-0; and undergo a 100% visual inspection per MIL-PRF-55342. Featuring lead (Pb)-free terminations, the devices are RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay GREEN. Samples and production quantities of the extended PAT resistors are available now, with lead times of eight weeks for large orders. Pricing for U.S. delivery starts at $0.30 per piece in 1,000-piece quantities and varies by case size and tolerance.
