Any value at any tolerance available within resistance range
The “VH” series of resistors is the hermetic version of several
molded “S” series devices. Hermetic sealing eliminates the
ingress of both oxygen, which degrades resistors over long
periods, and moisture which degrades resistors more
quickly. These parts are made with glass to metal seal
enclosures employing Kovar eyelets which allow the copper
leads to pass through the enclosure to minimize the thermal
EMF from the lead junctions. Rubber fill between the metal
housing and resistance element acts both as a mechanical
damper and thermal transfer path.
VHS102 and VH102K are the hermetically-sealed
counterpart of the S102C and S102K high-performance
molded resistors. VHS555 is the hermetically-sealed version
of the S555, MIL style RNC90Y.

Notes:
1) Standard resistance tolerance: ± 0.005 %; ± 0.01 %; ± 0.02 %;
± 0.05 %; ± 0.1 %; ± 0.25 %; ± 0.5 %; ± 1.0 %.
2) Not to exceed power rating of resistor.
3) See Figure 2 below.
4) 0.200" (5.08 mm) lead spacing available (except VHS555) -
specify VH102J (S102C type), VH102L (S102K type).
5) Maximum is 1.0 % A.Q.L. standard for all specifications except
TCR. (For TCR information see notes 6 to 10.) Typical is a
designers reference which represents that 85 % of the units
supplied, over a long period of time, will be at least the figure
shown or better.
6) Vishay maximum TCR spread is defined as the 3 σ (sigma) limit
of a normal Gaussian distribution (99.73 % of a production lot)
which is within a band, centered on the nominal curve. This
Vishay maximum TCR spread is no greater than ± 2.5 ppm/°C
from nominal throughout the full temperature range. This
definition of the Vishay maximum TCR spread from nominal
applies to all resistance values. However, as the resistance
value decreases below 80 Ω, the Vishay maximum TCR spread
from nominal specification starts to increase. (See Figure 3 in
datasheet “7 Technical Reasons to Specify Vishay Bulk Metal®
Foil Resistive Components”)
7) Selected TCR tracking is available for specially ordered lots of
resistors. The selected TCR tracking can be 3, 2, 1 and as close
as 0.5 ppm/°C throughout the full temperature range.
8) TCR tracking is a measure of the similarity of resistance value
change in two or more resistors which are undergoing the same
temperature changes. Tracking could be expressed as the
difference in the temperature coefficients of the resistors,
expressed in ppm/°C as (ΔR1/R1 to ΔR2/R2) x 10-6/ΔT°C. When
a number of resistors are referenced to a nominal TCR, the
spread or envelope around the nominal would be the difference.
If the spread is ± 1.5 ppm/°C about a nominal, the tracking, as
defined above, will be 3 ppm/°C.
9) Inductance (L) due mainly to the leads.
10) The resolution limit of existing test equipment (within the
measurement capability of the equipment, or “essentially zero”)
11) µV/°C relates to EMF due to lead temperature difference and
µV/W due to power applied to the resistor.
12) Load life ΔR maximum can be reduced through in-house
oriented processes.
