Vishay now offers axial-leaded wirewound resistors with SMD form termination type to reduce assembly costs.
Certain devices in Vishay lineup of cemented, axial-leaded wirewound resistors are now available with a pick-and-place friendly lead bending option, the WSZ lead form, that allows them to be used as SMD surface-mount components.
The AC series of wirewound resistors that include WSZ Z-form SMD ready is the perfect choice for general purpose power applications. The AEC-Q200 qualified AC-AT series
is best suited for automotive applications. The robust silicone cement coating can handle challenging ambient and operating conditions. Typical applications include but
are not limited to energy meters, power supplies and automotive electronics.
For a given application, requirements of ohmic value, rated power, peak voltage, pulse shape, pulse duration, lead bending, and environmental conditions may be submitted to recommend the most suitable product.
Various lead forms are available such as RT (radial taped), WSZ (Z-form), DK (double kink), EK (single kink) with defined mounting pitch.
