Resistor Stability Put to the Test (Demo Video) - VPG

With its robust construction, the VPG Bulk Metal(R) Foil resistor sets the standard for survivability and long-term stability in critical applications. In this video, our host Richard Zuratt puts the stability of the three major resistor technologies — foil, thin, and thick film — to the test. Each resistor type is subjected to an overload pulse and its change in resistance value is recorded. Due to the homogeneous nature of the VPG Bulk Metal(R) Foil resistor, it is the only of the three to experience no change from the high power pulse. This demonstrated performance makes foil resistors the technology of choice for critical applications where long-term stability and survivability are paramount.
