INTRODUCTION
Vishay VSMP2018 ultra high precision Bulk Metal® Z-Foil
resistor is the result of a new concept in resistors
manufacturing: A proprietary Bulk Metal Foil of known and
controllable properties is applied to a special ceramic
substrate. A resistive pattern is then photoetched by an
ultra-fine technique developed by Vishay.
Tolerance: to 0.01 %
Power coefficient “R due to self heating”:
5 ppm at rated power
Power rating: to 750 mW at + 70 °C
Load life stability: to 0.005 % at 70 °C, 2000 h at rated
power
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) up to 25 000 V
Short time overload: 0.005 %
Non-inductive, non-capacitive design
This process results in a resistor element that combines the
all important characteristics of low temperature coefficient
(TCR), long-term stability, ESD immunity, tight tolerance,
non-inductance, low capacitance and low noise.
These characteristics are optimum, approaching in total
performance the theoretical ideal, a straight wire.
Rise time: 1 ns effectively no ringing
Current noise: - 40 dB
Voltage coefficient < 0.1 ppm/V
Non inductive: < 0.08 µH
Non hot spot design
The behavior of Vishay resistors under load is characterized
by a very small initial resistance change which occurs within
the first 500 h of the test. Only insignificant resistance
changes are observed upon continuation of the test, and no
signs of wear out appear even at full load over several
thousands hours.
Terminal finish: lead (Pb)-free, tin/lead alloy
Compliant to RoHS directive 2002/95/EC
Matched sets are available on request
Prototype quantities available in just 5 working days or
sooner, please contact foil@vishaypg.com

The VSMP has a full wraparound termination which ensures
safe handling during the manufacturing process, as well as
providing stability during multiple thermal cyclings.
