TK/TN Series

TK/TN Series

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and ordering information for the Ohmite TK/TN Series of power resistors, available in 20W and 15W TO-220 packages. These resistors are designed for use with proper heatsinking and offer low resistance values suitable for current sense applications.
Specifications:
  • Material: The resistive element is a thick or thin film chip resistor with tin-plated copper terminals and a Ryton case. The heatsink plate is made of black anodized aluminum.
  • Power Rating: TK20 is rated at 20W and TN15 at 15W, dependent on proper heatsinking. The maximum case temperature should not exceed 150°C.
  • Resistance Range: TK20 ranges from 10mΩ to 10KΩ, while TN15 ranges from 4Ω to 10KΩ.
  • Tolerance: TK20 has a tolerance of 5%, and TN15 offers 1% and 2% tolerances.
  • Thermal Resistance: TK20 has a thermal resistance of <6.25°C/W, and TN15 has <8.33°C/W.
Ordering Information: The part numbers are structured to indicate series, resistance, tolerance, and RoHS compliance. For example, TK20P1R00JE represents a 20W thick film resistor with 1Ω resistance and 5% tolerance.
Advantages of Thin Film Technology:
  • Extremely stable with low TCR.
  • Low noise due to reduced parasitic capacitance and resistance.
  • Excellent high-frequency performance.
  • High accuracy with tight tolerances.
Usage Recommendations: The product is designed for use with proper heatsinking. The maximum base plate temperature must be monitored to ensure it remains within specified limits. A thermocouple should be attached to the side of the base plate for accurate temperature measurement.
Discontinuation Notice: The product was discontinued in May 2013 and will be available until existing stock is depleted.

Best technique is to attach a thermocouple to the side of the base plate of the resistor. Temperature of plastic housing or heat sink cannot be used to establish rating of the resistor. 1-866-9-OHMITE • Int’l 1-847-258-0300 • Fax 1-847-574-7522 • www.ohmite.com • [email protected]
