Rugged Power Wirewound Resistors from IRC Withstand Extreme Temperatures, Harsh Environments in Commercial, Industrial Applications
LAS VEGAS, NV (May 14, 2007) - Providing design engineers with a rugged power wirewound device capable of handling temperatures as high as 275°C, TT electronics IRC Wire and Film Technologies Division offers a series of axial wirewound resistors with power ratings from ½W to 9W. Designated the CCW Series, the ceramic core resistors feature a welded construction, conformal coating making them suitable for a variety of high volume power electronic applications, including those in high temperature, harsh industrial environments.
"The wirewound resistors are constructed with a ceramic core, enabling them to operate in temperatures up to 275°C," said David Winkler, product manager for IRC's Wire and Film Technologies Division. "The high temperature rating, along with a withstanding voltage rating up to 1000V, makes these resistors ideal for commercial power supply and industrial applications."
The CCW Series film resistors feature power ratings from 0.5W to 9W, with a resistance range from 0.1Ω to 1.5KΩ. Standard tolerances for the devices are to ±2%, ±5% and ±10% with TCRs as low as ±300ppm/°C at values of 20Ω or less. Operating temperature range is -55°C to +275°C.
Typical pricing for the CCW Series resistors is $0.011 each in quantities of 50,000 pieces. Lead time is from stock to 6 weeks.
