Caesars Entertainment misses Q2 earnings expectations, shares edge lower
MALVERN, Pa. - Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH), a $2.19 billion electronic components manufacturer that has seen its stock surge over 7% in the past week, announced Wednesday that its AC03-CS series of axial cemented wirewound safety resistors now includes a pick and place friendly lead bending option. The new WSZ lead form allows the devices to function as surface-mount components, potentially reducing assembly time and costs.
The AC03-CS series resistors serve as inrush current limiting resistors during normal operation and function as pre-charge, discharge, and snubber resistors. According to the company’s press release, the components are designed to ensure safe fusing in automotive electronics, energy meters, and power supplies for industrial drives and consumer appliances when exposed to high DC voltage overload or accidental AC mains voltage.
The resistors operate in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +200°C and feature a silicone cement coating that complies with UL 94 V-0 standards. This coating is designed to protect PCBs and other components by minimizing fire risk during electrical overloads.
The AEC-Q200 qualified series offers a power rating of 3 W at 40°C ambient temperature, resistance from 1 Ω to 100 Ω, resistance tolerance of ±5%, and temperature coefficient of ±200 ppm/K. The components also feature a surge voltage capability up to 4 kV.
The resistors are RoHS-compliant and halogen-free with tin-plated terminations compatible with various soldering processes. Samples and production quantities of the AC03-CS series resistors with WSZ lead forms are currently available with a 12-week lead time.According to InvestingPro analysis, Vishay maintains strong financial flexibility with a current ratio of 2.8, indicating robust liquid assets compared to short-term obligations. While currently trading above its Fair Value, analysts expect the company to return to profitability this year.
