Thin-Film MELF Resistors Provide Operating Voltages to 100V

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has introduced new high-voltage professional thin-film MELF resistors in the 0204 and 0207 case sizes. Designed for industrial, lighting, and medical applications with high stability and reliability requirements, the Vishay Beyschlag MMA 0204 HV (rated for 0.4W and 500V) and MMB 0207 HV resistors (rated for 1.0W and 1000V) combine a robust construction with high-voltage operation. These thin-film MELF resistors are have an operating temperature range of -55 to +155 degrees C.

Built on an advanced metal film technology, the devices released today provide proven reliability for high-voltage electronic circuits in lighting ballasts and LED drivers, industrial inverters and converters, battery management systems, and medical equipment. In these applications, the resistors save board space and simplify designs by replacing devices in larger case sizes, multiple resistors in similar case sizes, and leaded resistors.

The MMA 0204 HV and MMB 0207 HV offer a resistance range from 340kΩ to 10MΩ with tolerance of ± 1%, TCR of ± 50 ppm/K, rated power dissipation to 1.0 W at +70 degrees C, and excellent long-term stability down to < 0.5 % after 1,000 hours. Suitable for processing on automatic SMD assembly systems, the lead (Pb)-free devices are RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green.
