CSM3637Z

Vishay Precision Group, Inc. today announced that its Vishay Foil Resistors division (VFR) is now offering a wide variety of surface-mount and through-hole resistors built on Bulk Metal® Z- and Z1-Foil technologies for high reliability and high stability in medical applications. Including the recently introduced CSM3637Z, CSM3637P, Z203, and FRSM series, a wide variety of resistor configurations, chip packages, and ultra-high-precision specifications are available for optimized performance. Devices such as the VCS1625Z, VCS1625ZP, and CSM3637Z offer 4-terminal Kelvin connections for high reliability, while the FRSM, VSMP, and FRSH series feature wraparound terminations. The flexible terminations of the SMR3DZ and SMR3D eliminate stress transference from the PCB due to a difference in thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE), while the hermetically sealed packages of the VHP101, VHA512Z, and VSM46 (PRND) prevent the ingress of moisture and oxygen.

Vishay Precision Group, Inc. today announced that its Vishay Foil Resistors (VFR) division has released a new ultra-high-precision Bulk Metal® Foil surface-mount Power Metal Strip® current-sensing resistor with a load-life stability of 0.2% at +70 °C for 2,000 hours at rated power -- a significant improvement over the load-life stability of 1% or more offered by typical current sensing products. The new CSM3637Z also features an absolute TCR of 5 ppm/°C maximum from -55 °C to +125 °C, +25 °C ref., and a tolerance of 0.1%. The CSM3637Z utilizes proprietary processing techniques that result in extremely low resistance values of 3 to 50 milliohms.
