H Series
Vishay Foil Resistors
Hermetically Sealed High Precision Bulk Metal® Foil Technology
Resistors with TCR of ꢀ ꢁꢁmꢂ/C, Tolerance of ꢃ0ꢃꢃꢄ ꢅ and
Load Life Stability of ꢃ0ꢃꢃꢆ ꢅ
FEATURES
• Temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR):
Pb-free
2 ppm/°C typical
(- 55 °C to + 125 °C, + 25 °C ref.)
Available
RoHS*
• Power rating: 0.3 to 2.5 W at + 25 °C
COMPLIANT
(depending on model - see table 2)
• Tolerance: to 0.001 %
Any value at any tolerance available within resistance range
• Load life stability: 0.005 % (70 °C for 2000 h at half rated
power)
• Shelf life stability: 2 ppm for at least 10 years
INTRODUCTION
• Resistance range: 5 Ω to 1.84 MΩ (higher or lower values
of resistance available)
The H series resistors are oil-filled, hermetically sealed ultra
precision resistors.
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) above 25 000 V
• Rise time: 1.0 ns without ringing
• Current noise: < - 40 dB
The hermetic sealing eliminates the ingress of moisture and
oxygen, while the oil acts as a thermal conductor, thus
eliminating long term degradation elements of unsealed
resistors, while at the same time allowing the device to
accept short periods of overload without degradation.
• Thermal EMF: 0.05 µV/°C typical
• Voltage coefficient: < 0.1 ppm/V
• Non inductive: < 0.08 µH
Vishay’s Bulk Metal® Foil outperforms all other resistor
technologies available today for applications that require
precision and stability. When combined with the hermetic
sealing and oil filling, the H series resistors become one of
the most ꢁrecise and stable resistors available.
• Non inductive, non capacitive design
• Non hot spot design
• Terminal finishes available: lead (Pb)-free
tin/lead alloy
• Impervious to harmful environments - oil-filled
With accuracies of 0.001 %, a resistance range from 5 Ω
to 1.84 MΩ, and long term shelf life of less than 2 ppm,
these devices are virtually secondary standards that can be
carried in sets for daily or periodic calibration of factory
measurement equipment.
• Any value available within resistance range (e.g. 1K234)
• Prototype samples available from 48 h. For more
information, please contact foil@vishay.com

Note
Load life stability can be considerably improved through in-house
oriented tests
