New Yorker Electronics is now distributing the VPG foil resistors ultra-high precision molded surface mount resistor with Z1 foil technology and flexible terminations. The SMR3Z1 is an ultra high precision molded surface mountable resistor offering all the elements of precision; including low absolute temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR), tight tolerance, long term stability, low noise, low thermal electromotive force and non-measurable voltage coefficient. The SMR3Z1 is based on Z1 foil technology, which is virtually insensitive to destabilizing factors.
This product enhances overall circuit stability and measurement functionalities. The VPG SMR3Z1 resistor’s

These characteristics make the resistor ideal for the high temperatures and radiation-rich environments found in down-hole exploration and well logging, and deep-sea underwater repeaters in transoceanic communications. The molded package design and flexible terminations ensure minimal stress transference, addressing a concern in printed circuit board (PCB) applications where chips of 1206 and larger dimensions can delaminate or the PCB can develop cracks from thermal shock.
The SMR3Z1 resistor is also ideal for applications in precision amplifiers, differential amplifiers, pulse applications, control systems and power supplies, particularly in the medical, industrial, audio, low frequency, military, aeronautics and space exploration industries.
