VTA52Z through VTA56Z, VMTA55Z, VMTB60Z (Z-Foil)
Vishay Foil Resistors
Ultra High Precision Bulk Metal® Z-Foil Technology Tubular
Axial Lead Resistors with TCR of ± 0.05 ppm/°C,
Tolerance to ± 0.01 % and Load Life Stability of ± 0.005 %
FEATURES
INTRODUCTION
This series of axial resistors uses the same Foil technology
as the Z201 but with axial leads instead of radial leads. Axial
leads have the advantage of using readily available auto
insertion equipment while the radial leaded devices may
require additional tooling. Also, when converting from metal
film (RNC 55) to Bulk Metal® Foil (VMTA55Z) boards may
already be laid out for the axial leaded device.
Our application engineering department is available to
advise and to make recommendations. For non-standard
technical requirements and special applications, please
contact us.

Vishay Foil Resistors
POST MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS OR PMO
Many analog applications can include requirements for
performance under conditions of stress beyond the normal
and over extended periods of time. This calls for more than
just selecting a standard device and applying it to a circuit.
The standard device may turn out to be all that is needed but
an analysis of the projected service conditions should be
made and it may well dictate a routine of stabilization known
as post manufacturing operations or PMO. The PMO
operations that will be discussed are only applicable to Bulk
Metal Foil resistors. They stabilize Bulk Metal Foil resistors
while they are harmful to other types. Short time overload,
accelerated load life, and temperature cycling are the three
PMO exercises that do the most to remove the anomalies
down the road. Vishay Bulk Metal Foil resistors are
inherently stable as manufactured. These PMO exercises
are only of value on Bulk Metal Foil resistors and they
improve the performance by small but significant amounts.
Users are encouraged to contact Vishay Foil applications
engineering for assistance in choosing the PMO operations
that are right for their application.
