16-Pin and 24-Pin SMD Dual In-Line Thin Film Resistor Networks

August 02, 2017 by Paul Shepard

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. today announced that the company has extended its OSOP series of surface-mount dual in-line thin film resistor networks in the 25 mil pitch QSOP package with new 16-pin and 24-pin versions in accordance with JEDEC MO-137, variation AB and AE.

Available in isolated, last pin common, and custom schematics, the Vishay Dale Thin Film networks feature tight ratio tolerances to ±0.025% and low TCR tracking of ±5ppm/°C to deliver higher precision than competing devices.

Optimized for precision voltage dividers and operational amplifiers, the resistor networks released today feature a low 1.73mm maximum seated height, while their 25-mil pitch allows designers to reduce board space requirements by more than 50% over current pitch standards.

Typical applications will include telecommunications, industrial, process control, and medical instrumentation.

In isolated schematics, the 16-pin and 24-pin networks are available with 8 or 12 resistors, respectively, each with resistance values from 500Ω to 100kΩ and power ratings to 100mW. In last pin common schematics, the devices are offered with 7 or 11 resistors.

Featuring a rugged molded case construction with no internal solder, the networks provide absolute TCR of ±25ppm/°C and ratio stability of ±0.015% for 2,000 hours at 70 °C.

The devices feature extremely low noise of <-30dB and voltage coefficients of less than 0.1ppm/V, and they operate over a wide temperature range of -55 to +125 degrees C. The OSOP series is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free.

Samples and production quantities of the new resistor networks are available now, with lead times of 5 to 10 weeks for larger orders. Pricing for U.S. delivery ranges from $1.09 to $4.03 per piece and varies by ratio tolerance and package size.
