Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has introduced the RCWPM Jumper, a DSCC-approved, zero-ohm chip resistor that is MIL-PRF-32159-qualified.

The RCWPM Jumper is proposed in all 13 case sizes of the MIL-PRF-32159 specification.


Main features:
. It provides extremely low maximum resistance values down to 20 mΩ
. It offers a wide range of power ratings from 0.035 W to 1.0 W, and current ratings from 1.1 A to 6.3 A
. It features a stable thick film resistive element and a 96-percent alumina substrate
. It offers "B" style terminations with a tin/lead wraparound over nickel barrier

Vishay noted that the device's electroplated nickel barrier layer enables high-temperature operation to +150°C. The jumper is 100-percent Group A screened per MIL-PRF-32159, and is halogen-free according to the IEC 61249-2-21 definition.

Target applications:

. Military
. Avionics
. Space
. Medical

I had to jump when I saw the term "zero-ohm resistor." "That's a wire!" I exclaimed to myself. And then I realized they are calling it a jumper. Ohhh. It comes in 13 sizes and it's halogen-free, too. All it needs now is a catchy jingle.
