Vishay qualifies resistors to MIL-PRF-55182

Experts at Vishay Angstrohm of Hagerstown, Md., are introducing a RNR/RNN75 established-reliability metal film resistor that qualifies to the requirements of MIL-PRF-55182 (1 watt at 125 degrees Celsius). The glass-to-metal enclosure hermetically seals the resistive element in an inert gas to protect it from harmful environments, officials say. The resistors use solid-core construction, which is popular in space applications. The 0.25-inch-diameter component can keep board space requirements to a minimum, while maintaining lead spacing.
