VPG Foil Resistors

Avnet Abacus is an authorised Vishay Precision Group (VPG Foil Resistors) distributor throughout Europe.

Vishay Precision Group produces sensors based on resistive foil technology, and sensor-based systems. It provides vertically integrated products and solutions for multiple growing markets in the areas of stress measurement, industrial weighing, and manufacturing process control. 

Resistors are basic components used in all forms of electronic circuitry to adjust and regulate levels of voltage and current. They vary widely in precision and cost, and are manufactured from numerous materials and in many forms. Foil resistors are the most precise and stable type of resistors available. A strain gage is a special type of resistive sensor for measurement of weights and other types of mechanical stress.
