INTRODUCTION
The VSA101 Axial Bulk Metal® Z-foil resistor is Vishay’s
answer to the industry’s demand for ultra-high precision
resistors with axial terminations.
The Z-foil technology provides a significant reduction of the
resistive component’s sensitivity to ambient temperature
variations (TCR) and applied power changes (PCR). This,
along with all the additional Z-foil benefits presented in the
features section, allows designers to guarantee the highest
degree of stability and accuracy in fixed-resistor applications
using solutions based on Vishay’s revolutionary Z-foil
technology.
• Thermal EMF: 0.1 µV/°C maximum; 0.05 µV/°C typical
• Voltage coefficient: < 0.1 ppm/V
• Non inductive: 0.08 µH
• Terminal finishes available: lead (Pb)-free
tin/lead alloy
• Maximum working voltage: 300 V
• Matched sets are available per request
