Devices Save Space While Maintaining High Reliability in Automotive, Industrial, and Telecommunications Applications
MALVERN, Pa., Feb. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new series of AEC-Q200 qualified thick film chip resistors in the ultra compact 0201 case size. Offering a miniature footprint of just 0.6 mm by 0.3 mm by 0.23 mm, the CRCW0201-AT e3 series devices provide designers with a reliable, space-saving solution for automotive, industrial, and telecommunications applications.
Compared to devices in the next-larger 0402 case size, the resistors released today are available at a competitive price, while reducing PCB requirements by 50 %. For designers, this supports the ongoing downsizing trend in modern electronics, while maintaining stable electrical performance and high reliability.
Despite their small size, CRCW0201-AT e3 series resistors deliver a power rating of 0.05 W at +70 °C and operating voltage of 30 V. The devices operate over a temperature range from -55 °C to +155 °C and are available with a wide range of resistance values from 10 Ω to 1 MΩ (0 Ω jumper), with tolerances of ± 1 % and ± 5 % and TCR of ± 200 ppm/K.
RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, CRCW0201-AT e3 series resistors feature a protective coating designed for electrical, mechanical, and climatic protection. Suitable for automatic soldering using reflow or vapor phase, the devices’ pure matte tin plating provides compatibility with lead (Pb)-free and lead-containing soldering processes.
Samples and production quantities of the CRCW0201-AT e3 series are available now, with lead times of 12 weeks.
