Vishay Intertechnology Launches Advanced Power Resistor
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) is stepping up its offerings with the new D2TO35H series of automotive-grade power resistors. Designed for robust performance, this latest addition channels higher pulse absorption, measured at an impressive 15 J/0.1 s. The power resistor comes packaged in a TO-263 format, also known as D²PAK, allowing it to efficiently dissipate 35 W of power at a +25 °C case temperature.
Introducing the D2TO35H Device
The D2TO35H offers significant advancements over its predecessors. With a unique design enabling 30% higher energy absorption compared to the standard D2TO35 resistor, it is crafted to protect against short transient pulses effectively. This improvement ensures more stable operations, particularly in high-stress environments, thereby reducing risks of failure while enhancing overall system reliability.
Improved Design and Functionality
The device showcases remarkable versatility, equipped to handle high temperatures up to +175 °C. Users can choose from a broad range of resistance values from 1 ? to 14 k?, with tolerances as low as ± 2%. With a thermal resistance rating of 4.28 °C/W, the D2TO35H is ideal for various applications, such as active discharge or precharge resistors in systems like controls, 48 V board nets, battery management systems (BMS), fuel cells, and onboard chargers for hybrid and electric vehicles.
Various Applications and Benefits
This new power resistor isn’t just limited to automotive applications. It’s perfectly suited for energy monitoring systems, agricultural machinery, industrial motor drives, welding equipment, power tools, and even military systems. The non-inductive design ensures low noise operation, while the RoHS compliance highlights its commitment to sustainability.
Efficient Production and Availability
Samples along with production quantities of the D2TO35H are already available, with lead times clocking in at approximately 10 weeks. Vishay emphasizes a commitment to quality, ensuring that these components can be integrated seamlessly into a variety of systems.
