Authors Reuven Goldstein and Joseph Szwarc, Vishay Intertechnology, Israel, discuss how foil technology yields low power coefficient resistors in this June cover feature. Maintaining the same form/fit function as conventional devices, a new “Z-based” foil technology reduces resistor sensitivity to applied power changes, enabling a tenfold improvement in the effects of ambient temperature and self-heating, and increased accuracy for fixed-resistor applications.
