Vishay Intertechnology announced that certain devices in its AC and AC-AT series of cemented, axial-leaded wirewound resistors are now available with a pick-and-place friendly lead-bending option. The WSZ lead form allows the devices to be used as surface-mount components By offering high-power dissipation and excellent pulse capability, the Vishay Draloric resistors are the industry’s first…

Vishay Intertechnology has introduced a new series of AEC-Q200-qualified, chassis-mount wirewound resistors, targeted at the growing electric-vehicle (EV) market. Vishay Dale RHA series resistors mount directly onto a chassis, using the heat-sink effect. Offering high reliability, the devices feature a completely welded and molded construction for total environmental protection, and an operating temperature range of -55°…

Vishay Intertechnology has introduced a new, AEC-Q200-qualified charging resistor that is the industry’s first device to feature hybrid wirewound technology in a standard package size. With a high operating temperature range up to +250° C, the Vishay MCB HRHA will serve as a pre-charge and discharge resistor in inverters and converters for electric (EV), hybrid electric…
