New Fixed Carbon Composition Resistors Improve Pulse Endurance
Bradford, PA - October 15, 2003 - A fixed carbon composition non-inductive, low-capacitance resistor series the RC 1/4 and RC 1/2 is now available from KOA Speer Electronics. The RC 1/4 and 1/2 series are able to withstand larger short-term pulses and higher voltages than carbon film resistors and are virtually impervious to EDS (electro-static discharge) events. RC 1/4 and 1/2 resistor, provide excellent performance at high frequencies.
A wide resistance range is available with the RC 1/4 and 1/2, from 1 ohm to 22 Mohm, tolerance available are +/- 5% and +/- 10% at 0.25V and 0.5V respectively, with a stability class of 10%, limiting element voltage of 250V, 350V and isolation voltage of 100V and 500V.
Applications for the RC 1/4 and 1/2 resistors include protection from high voltage surges, and RFI suppression. These resistors are designed for the audio, video and telecommunications industries, including telephone equipment and solid state dimmers/controls. Standard lead-time for production orders is 13-15 weeks.
KOA Speer Electronics is QS 9000, ISO 9002 certified company that has been serving the electronics industry since 1980.
