LAS VEGAS, NV (May 14, 2007) - Design engineers looking for a high power resistor capable of withstanding high temperatures and electrical overloads can now specify commercial grade metal oxide resistors from TT electronics IRC Wire and Film Technologies Division. Designated the CMO Series, the resistors are available in both standard and miniature sizes, with power ratings from 0.25W to 9W at 70°C, and a maximum operating temperature of 240°C.
"These metal oxide resistors offer a wide resistance range in a rugged, flameproof device capable of operating at sustained high ambient temperatures," said David Winkler, product manager for IRC's Wire and Film Technologies Division. "The availability of the CMO Series devices in miniature sizes makes it an ideal choice for engineers who need power resistors for applications with limited PC board space." Supplied with a superior flame retardant coating, the CMO Series resistors are being specified for industrial and power electronics applications that require stable high temperature performance in harsh environments.
The CMO Series metal oxide resistors feature power ratings from 0.25W to 9W in standard size axial leaded packages; and from 0.5W to 5W in miniature sizes, with a resistance range from 0.3 & 8486; to 200K & 8486;. Standard tolerances for the devices are to & 61617;2%, & 61617;5% and & 61617;10% with TCRs of & 61617;350ppm/& 61616;C. Maximum working voltage ranges from 250V to 750V.
Typical pricing for the CMO Series resistors is $.024 each for 1 watt, in quantities of 20,000 pieces. Lead time is from stock to 6 weeks.
