Bulk Metal® Foil Resistor Standard with TCR of 0.3 ppm/°C,
High Stability and Accuracy for Laboratory Calibration Standards
Direct Plug-In Device for Most DMM’S Available in the Market
INTRODUCTION
A manufacturer of the most precise production-size
resistors available, Vishay Foil Resistors (VFR) has
experienced the problems presented by virtually all
available conventional and specialized secondary
standards. Among these are: instrument accuracy,
resistance shifts caused by load, temperature or
environmental changes, difficulty in measurement of
last digits, limitation on usable frequency, size and ease
of setting.
From intensive analysis of these problems, VFR
has developed a complete new design. With the
unequalled combination of the Bulk Metal® Foil resistor’s
performances, Vishay Foil resistors offer accuracy,
stability and versatility never before combined in a
secondary standard resistor.
The FSR reduces these major problems to insignificance:
accuracy, resistance shift, frequency, and size.
Our Application Engineering department is available to
advise and make recommendations.
For non-standard technical requirements and special
applications, please contact us via email.
Note
(1) Measured by comparison against Vishay Foil Resistor
standards which are traceable to NIST.

APPLICATIONS
In addition to the standard applications for decade boxes
and secondary standards, the FSR greatly extends the
range of usefulness for these instruments due to their high
frequency performance (e.g., R&D, incoming and out-
going inspection stations, quality control, laboratory, etc.).
Vishay Foil Resistors’ secondary standards are used for
adjustable, direct reading resistance and are substitution
components of: RTD, bridge, attenuators, voltage
dividers, multipliers, adjustable feedback resistors
(for use with operational amplifiers), ladder (network)
elements, etc.

FIGURE 4—TRANSIT CASE (OPTIONAL)
FSR device units can be supplied in a protective,
lightweight transit case, shielding the units against
potential damage or exposure to changes in
temperature during transportation. The protective case
can store up to 9 FSR units.
