INTRODUCTION
The CAR, composed of Vishay’s Bulk Metal Z-foil technology,
with improved sound quality, provides a combination of low
noise and low inductance/capacitance, making it unrivalled for
applications requiring low noise and distortion-free properties.
While the regular foil resistors are already widely acknowledged
as the leading resistors for audio applications, the special “naked
Z-foil resistor” design without case or encapsulation, adds an
additional dimension for reducing signal distortion and increasing
clarity in signal processing.
For non standard requirements such as higher values (using
multiple chips) and tighter tolerances, please contact our
application engineering department.
