VISHAY MODELS VPR220 AND VPR221 Precision Foil Power Resistors in TO 220 Configuration
Models VPR220 AND VPR221, made from Vishay Bulk Metal® foil, offer low TCR, high stability, tight tolerance and fast response time in a small, molded resistor. Model VPR220 is a 2 lead de- vice. Model VPR221 is a 4 lead Kelvin connected device. The 4 leaded version is highly recommended for precision applications requiring ohmic values of 100R or less.
FEATURES Power: 8 watts chassis mounted (per MIL-R-39009) Load Life Stability: ±0.05% maximum ∆R at rated power and temperature for 2,000 hours Temperature Coefficient of Resistance: to ±5 ppm/°C Resistance Range: 0.5 to 10K Ω Tolerance: To ±0.01% Low Thermal EMF: 0.15 µV/°C maximum (lead effect) Non-Inductive Construction Heat sink is Isolated
