TEMPERATURE RISE
PRACTICAL OPERATING TOLERANCES
Table 2 and 3 show the basic characteristics and maximum
values under different stresses. In fact, the values and drifts
are maintained to within narrower limits.
So, in operation under the specified conditions (Pr at 70 °C)
the total drift (load life + TCR) of a RCMA K4 does not exceed
± 0.25 %.
SPECIAL APPLICATIONS
Temperature coefficient tracking to 5 ppm/°C.
Tolerance matching to 0.05 %.
Selection of positive or negative TCR in temperature range
of - 20 °C to + 125 °C.
For these applications and other requirements consult
VISHAY SFERNICE.
