Film resistor packs some power

Rhopoint Components has launched in the UK a new range of clip mount power film resistors with the highest current carrying capacity of any resistor of its footprint.

Rhopoint Components has launched in the UK a new range of clip mount power film resistors with the highest current carrying capacity of any resistor of its footprint The TO-220 style device is rated at 60W/60A at 25C and comes in values as low as 0.005W

The MP2060 power film resistor is ideal for high frequency switching circuits, including snubbers and RF terminations, thanks to its exceptional non-inductive performance.

For motor control and power supply circuits, the high current sensing of up to 60A continuous is achieved by the use of heavy duty leads.

A ceramic mounting surface has been incorporated in the packaging of the resistor to enable high thermal conductivity to a heatsink.

The resistor element is isolated from the mounting surface.

The MP2060 resistor is available from stock in standard resistance values and tolerances from 0.005W +/-5%, from 0.010 W +/-2%, and from 0.020W +/-1% to 1kW +/-1%. Request a free brochure from Rhopoint Components ...
