Power resistors take heatsinks onboard
A new range of 20W TO220 planar power resistors with integral heatsinks has been released by TT Electronics-BI Technologies.
Capable of withstanding peak currents up to 15 times their rated values for 8ms, the MHP resistors are available in resistances ranging from 0.01ohm to 100kohm, with a tolerance of +/-5% (optional +/-1 and +/-2%).
Temperature coefficient of resistance is +/-100ppm/C.
Power rating is 20W at 250C, maximum operating voltage 500V, dielectric withstanding voltage 1500V and operating temperature range -55 to +155C.
The MHP resistors are manufactured in the ISO9001/TS16949-approved plant of TT Electronics BI Technologies in Glenrothes, Scotland, and are supplied in trays of 50.
