Vishay Foil Resistors
Bulk Metal® Foil Technology
Hermetically Sealed Power and Current Sensing Resistor with
TCR of 2 ppm/°C and Power up to 10 Watts
FEATURES
• Temperature coefficient of resistance TCR:
± 2 ppm/°C typical (- 55 °C to + 125 °C,
+ 25 °C ref.) (see tables 1 and 2)
Pb-free
Available
RoHS*
• Tolerance: to ± 0.01 % (see tables 1 and 2)
COMPLIANT
• Power rating (heat-sinked): 10 W
• Load life stability: ± 0.01 % at 25 °C, 2000 h at rated power
• Resistance range: 0.05 Ω to 80 kΩ
Any value available within resistance range
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) above 25 000 V
Vishay Bulk Metal® Foil power resistors offer the best
approach to low value power and current sensing when a
combination of accuracy, tight TCR, low thermal EMF, low
voltage coefficient, Kelvin connection, and long term stability
(under power) are required.
• Non inductive, non capacitive design
Vishay Models VHP-3 and VHP-4 offer all welded
construction and screw mounting directly to a metal heat sink
for maximum heat transfer. Hermetic sealing and nitrogen
back fill provide the maximum protection against
environmental stresses, thereby ensuring long term stability.
A special feature of this construction is Kovar eyelet’s and
OFHC solder plated copper leads providing the lowest
thermal EMFs in the industry.
• Voltage coefficient: < 0.1 ppm/V
Vishay Model VPR247 has many of the advantages of the
VHP-4 but with significantly reduced size and weight. It also
has gold plated copper leads.
• Any value available within resistance range (e.g. 1K234)
Our Application Engineering department is available to
advise and to make recommendations. For non-standard
technical requirements and special applications, please
contact us.
• For better performances, please contact Application
Engineering
• Rise time: 1.0 ns without ringing
• Current noise: < - 40 dB
• Thermal EMF: 0.05 µV/°C typical
• Non inductive: 0.08 µH
• Non hot spot design
• Terminal finishes available:

Kelvin (4-terminal) connections are used for these low ohmic value products to measure a precise voltage drop across the
resistive element. In these applications the contact resistance, lead resistance, and their TCR effect may be greater than that of
the element itself and could cause significant errors if the standard 2-terminal connection is used. Figure 2 shows a high
impedance measurement system where r5 approaches infinity and Im approaches zero resulting in negligible IR drop through r3
and r4 which negates their lead resistance and TCR effect. With the voltage sense leads E1 and E2 inside of r1 and r2 the
resistance and TCR effect of the current leads, I1 and I2 are negated and only the resistance and TCR of the element R are
sensed. This method of measurement is essential for precise current sensing.
