The Vishay CRCW-HP e3 series of thick film chip resistors is designed for applications requiring high reliability, stability, high power rating, and excellent pulse load performance. These resistors are AEC-Q200 qualified and feature a double-side printed resistive element. Typical applications include battery management systems in automotive appliances and various industrial power measurement electronics. They offer excellent pulse load capability and enhanced power ratings, ensuring robust performance in demanding environments. The resistors do not feature a limited lifetime when operated within permissible limits, but resistance value drift may occur over time.
