Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and features of Ohmite's surface mount power resistors, including various series such as RC, RF, RW, RP, and RM. These resistors are designed for different applications, offering a range of wattage, resistance, and voltage ratings.
Specifications: The resistors are categorized by series, each with specific wattage, resistance range, and voltage ratings. For example, the RC series offers carbon and ceramic composition resistors with wattages from 0.25 to 1.00 watts and resistance up to 20M ohms. The RW series includes wirewound resistors with wattages up to 3.5 watts and resistance values as low as 0.005 ohms.
Features: Key features include tolerance levels of 1%, 5%, and 10%, twelve wattage ratings, seven package sizes, and two mounting designs. The resistors utilize five power resistor technologies to optimize performance, including carbon/ceramic composition, metal film, wire element, power film, and high voltage thick film. They also feature flexible J-bend terminations and a working temperature range from -55°C to +150°C.
Performance Data: The document includes performance data such as temperature rise graphs, typical TCR values, and derating curves. It specifies the construction and performance under various conditions like temperature cycling, load life, and immersion.
Dimensions and Land Patterns: Detailed dimensions for various package styles are provided, along with recommended land patterns for PCB design. The document also includes reel dimensions for compatibility with pick-and-place machines.
Ordering Information: The document explains the part numbering system, which includes details on component type, wattage, base type, package size, resistance value, and tolerance. It also notes the availability of RoHS-compliant versions.
