PR SERIES

PR SERIES

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document details the PR Series of high-voltage surge resistors, which are cost-effective and capable of handling up to 200 joules. These resistors are available through RCD's SWIFTTM program and include a molded surface mount version (PRM series).
Options: The resistors offer several options including Group A Screening (Opt. ER), flameproof coating (Opt. F), increased power (Opt. B), and non-inductive versions (Opt. X). Customizations such as marking, cut & form, and burn-in are also available.
Specifications: The resistors range from 1/8W to 15W and can handle voltages from 2KV to 25KV. They are designed to replace composition resistors, offering better performance in pulse applications like lightning and in-rush current. The document provides detailed specifications for each resistor type, including wattage rating, voltage limits, and physical dimensions.
Performance Characteristics: The resistors exhibit excellent performance under various conditions, with specific derating factors for temperature and voltage. They are resistant to short-time overload, temperature cycling, moisture, shock, and vibration. The operating temperature range is -55 to +150°C, with an option for +275°C.
Applications: The PR series resistors are suitable for a wide range of applications and can meet the surge requirements of various standards such as UL, ANSI/IEEE, and IEC. The document advises on selecting the appropriate model based on desired surge levels and provides guidelines for safety factors and derating.
Part Number Designation: The document explains the part number designation system, which includes options, resistance code, termination type, optional temperature coefficient, packaging, and tolerance.

Term.”W” is Pb-free and RoHS compliant; □ Cost effective high-voltage surge resistors to 200 joules □ Available on RCD’s exclusive SWIFT™ program □ Molded surface mount version available (PRM series) OPTIONS □ Opt. ER: Group A Screening per MIL-R-39008 RCR □ Opt. F: Flameproof coating □ Opt. B: Increased power (see Specifications table) □ Opt. X: Non-inductive (see Performance Char. table) □ Custom marking, cut & form, burn-in, etc. Excellent Low Cost Replacement for Composition Resistors Series PR pulse resistors withstand higher energy pulses than conventional film & wirewound types, without the performance disadvantages of carbon comp resistors. The heavy duty construction features a high thermal conductivity core and coating, enabling improved stability and environmental performance. Series PR satisy a wide variety of pulse applications including lightning, snubber, in-rush current, capacitor charge, etc. RoHS (Sn) or Mil-spec (Sn-Pb) termination finish available. 1 Max voltage = V(PxR), not to exceed value listed. 2 Pulse voltage & energy capability is dependent on res.value, waveform, repetition rate, & environmental conditions (refer to R-42 for derating factors). 3 .040” (1mm) lead dia. is available on PR1 (specify PR1-18), .032” [,8mm] lead dia. is available on PR2 (specify PR2-20) 4Lead length is for bulk packaging, taped parts may be shorter (consult taping dimensions). 5 Expanded range avail. 6Allow .024” [.6mm] additonal for Opt. X or values <1W 7 Specify Opt. 56 for 1.5” [38.1] min. lead length, Opt. 70 for 2” [50.8] lead length 8Multiply by 0.7 on Opt.X parts. SURGE CAPABILITY Derating, Wattage & Voltage * specify Opt.75 for induc levels 50% that of Opt.X, or Opt.76 for 33% that of Opt.X APPLICATION NOTE Use chart above to select model to meet desired surge level. Pulse not to exceed peak V & j ratings (derate 30% for Opt.X), and average power during repetitive pulses nte rated W. A safety factor of 30% typ. is recommended for infrequent pulses, 50% typ. for repetitive pulses (refer to Note R42 for derating factors attributable to pulse width, rep. rate, temp., altitude, humidity). Verify by evaluating under worst-case conditions. Depending on specifics, PR series can often satisfy the surge requirements of UL-217, -268, -294, -497, -508, -913, -943, -991, -1459, -1971, ANSI/IEEE C62.41, CCITT (Rec.
