RCH Vishay Sfernice Power Resistors, for Mounting onto a Heatsink Thick Film Technology FEATURES 5 W to 50 W High power rating High overload capabilities up to 2500 V RMS Wide resistance range from 0R24 to 1 M Manufactured in cermet thick film technology, these power High thermal capacity up to 0.8 C/W resistors exhibit remarkable characteristics and the series Easy mounting includes 4 types ranging from 5 W to 50 W. Designed to be mounted onto a heatsink, the resistors can Reduced size and weight bear high short time overloads and 3 types of terminations 6 High insulation: 10 M are available. The resistors are non inductive and are particularly suitable for high frequency operation and cut-out circuits.
