Z1 Foil Technology improves overall
environmental performances and long-term stability
VPG Foil Resistors, a product group of
Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (NYSE:VPG) and a
manufacturer of the industry’s most precise and stable precision
resistors, today announced a new ultra-high precision
Vishay Foil Resistors molded surface-mount resistor with
Z1 Foil Technology and flexible terminations. The SMR3Z1 resistor
meets all of the criteria that define a precision resistor,
including low temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR),
long-term stability, low noise, low thermal electromotive force
(EMF), and non-measurable voltage coefficient. The product enhances
overall circuit stability and measurement functionalities.

The SMR3Z1 resistor’s low absolute temperature coefficient of
resistance (TCR) reduces errors due to temperature gradients and it
can withstand harsh environmental conditions. These characteristics
make the resistor ideal for the high temperatures and
radiation-rich environments found in down-hole exploration and well
logging, and deep-sea underwater repeaters in transoceanic
communications. The molded package design and flexible terminations
ensure minimal stress transference, addressing a concern in printed
circuit board (PCB) applications where chips of 1206 and larger
dimensions can delaminate or the PCB can develop cracks from
thermal shock.
The SMR3Z1 resistor is also ideal for applications in precision
amplifiers, differential amplifiers, pulse applications, control
systems, and power supplies, particularly in the medical,
industrial, audio, low frequency, military, aeronautics, and space
exploration industries.
The Vishay Foil Resistors SMR3Z1 resistor is based on
Z1 Foil Technology, the latest generation of Bulk Metal® Foil
technology. Devices with Z1 Foil Technology excel over all previous
stability standards for precision resistors with significant
improvement in environmental stability. They are virtually
insensitive to destabilizing factors. These unique traits are
achieved through the use of a solid alloy that is matched to the
ceramic substrate with polyimide bonding to enable a uniform
thickness of the bond line, superior adhesion strength, and
improved resistance to moisture.
Precision resistors built with Bulk Metal® Foil technology
provide very low temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) and
exceptional long-term stability even in extreme temperatures.
Vishay Foil Resistors devices provide a wide range of
resistance values, and can be produced with any resistance value
within their given range, at any tolerance, with no additional cost
or lead time effect.
