Combining maximum precision with economic efficiency: Thin-film resistors from Vishay's MC AT and TNPW e3 series at Rutronik

08/21/2025 Product News

With the high-precision thin-film resistors of the MC AT and TNPW e3 series from Vishay, Rutronik offers powerful solutions for applications that require maximum accuracy and stability. Thanks to their tight tolerances, low temperature coefficients and excellent long-term stability, these resistors are ideal for use in industrial, medical and measurement technology applications, as well as in the automotive sector. Particularly attractive: Compared to other precision solutions on the market, both series offer an extremely economical price-performance ratio, giving them a clear competitive advantage. The Vishay portfolio is available at www.rutronik24.com, as are the TNPW e3 and MC AT series, which are currently being offered at particularly attractive prices.

The MC AT series is available in the extremely compact sizes 0201, 0402, 0603, 0805, and 1206. With a tolerance of up to ±0.1 % and a temperature coefficient (TCR) of ±25 ppm / K (0201), they meet the highest precision requirements. Their outstanding long-term stability (≤0.05 % after 1,000 hours under rated load) makes them the first choice for sensitive applications.

The TNPW e3 series, on the other hand, scores as a particularly economical alternative in the thin-film range. With sizes of 0201, 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206 and 1210, tolerances from ±0.1 % and a 
TCR of ±25 ppm / K (0201), these components offer an excellent balance of performance and price. Thanks to AEC-Q200 qualification and robust construction, they are ideally suited for industrial and automotive applications. In addition, TNPW resistors can be easily integrated into existing designs without compromising on quality and reliability.

Both series deliver consistently high performance, making them a reliable and cost-effective solution for developers and purchasers who value long-term availability and process reliability.
