• Sulfur resistance by construction that is
unaffected by high sulfur environments Available
Notes
• Per PCN-DR-00009-2022-REV-0, WSL marking will be removed effective March 1st, 2023
(1) WSL marking (www.vishay.com/doc?30327); WSL decade values (www.vishay.com/doc?30117)
(2) Packaging code: EB (lead (Pb)-free) and TB (tin / lead) are non-standard packaging codes designating 1000 piece reels. These non-standard
packaging codes are identical to our standard EA (lead (Pb)-free) and TA (tin / lead), except that they have a package quantity of 1000 pieces

± 75 for 50 mΩ to 100 mΩ ± 75 for 7 mΩ to 500 mΩ
Component temperature coefficient ± 110 for 10 mΩ to 49 mΩ ± 110 for 5 mΩ to 6.9 mΩ
(including terminal) (2)
ppm/°C - ± 150 for 3 mΩ to 4.9 mΩ
TCR measured from
-55 °C to +155 °C - ± 275 for 1 mΩ to 2.9 mΩ
- ± 400 for 0.5 mΩ to 0.99 mΩ
Element TCR (3) ppm/°C < 20
Operating temperature range °C -65 to +170
Maximum working voltage (4) V (P x R)1/2
Notes
(1) Consult factory for detailed TCR performance across temperature range associated with PCN-DR-00003-2020 for WSL0603. TCR
performance is improved for +25 °C to +155 °C
(2) Component TCR - total TCR that includes the TCR effects of the resistor element and the copper terminal
(3) Element TCR - only applies to the alloy used for the resistor element; refer to item 1 in the construction illustration on the following page
(4) Maximum working voltage - the WSL is not voltage sensitive, but is limited by power / energy dissipation and is also not ESD sensitive
