INTRODUCTION
These Bulk Metal® Z-Foil power current sensing resistors are
direct replacements for certain wirewound devices but
without the inductive characteristics of wirewounds. The
anodized aluminum housing is drilled and countersunk to
accept flat head screws for thermal mounting. Because the
device is internally Kelvin connected, there is no restriction
on the lead lengths as would be the case if this were a two
terminal device. Frequently used in YIG oscillator circuits
these devices contribute to superior frequency stability.

POST MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS (PMO)
Many analog applications can include requirements for
performance under conditions of stress beyond the normal
and over extended periods of time. This calls for more than
just selecting a standard device and applying it to a circuit.
The standard device may turn out to be all that is needed but
an analysis of the projected service conditions should be
made and it may well dictate a routine of stabilization known
as post manufacturing operations or PMO. The PMO
operations that will be discussed are only applicable to Bulk
Metal Foil resistors. They stabilize Bulk Metal Foil resistors
while they are harmful to other types. Short time overload,
accelerated load life, and temperature cycling are the three
PMO exercises that do the most to remove the anomalies
down the road. Vishay Bulk Metal Foil resistors are
inherently stable as manufactured. These PMO exercises
are only of value on Bulk Metal Foil resistors and they
improve the performance by small but significant amounts.
Users are encouraged to contact Vishay Foil applications
engineering for assistance in choosing the PMO operations
that are right for their application.
