Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. introduced a new high precision thin film wraparound chip resistor for industrial, military, and aerospace applications. In addition to offering the widest resistance value range on the market, the Vishay Sfernice PEP delivers higher power ratings in smaller case sizes than competing devices, which enables miniaturization and increases reliability by reducing the mechanical stress on solder joints. The resistor released is available in four case sizes from 0402 to 1206 and features a high power rating to 1 W in the 1206 case size (without cooling under the PCB).

The PEP offers a wide resistance range from 39 to 900 k, with tolerances down to +/- 0.05 %, and operates over a broad temperature range of -55 degC to +155 degC.
