| IRC's High Density Power Resistors |
Thursday, October 09, 2008
CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (October 8, 2008) --Providing design engineers with a robust device that combines high power and high voltage, TT electronics IRC has raised the dielectric withstanding voltage of its
high density power resistors to 4000VAC. Designated the MHP150 through MHP600 Series, the resistors are offered in power ratings ranging from 150W to 600W.
"The wide range of power ratings not only allows design engineers to specify the appropriate resistor to meet their specific application, but customers are now able to employ these resistors in high voltage
circuits as well," said Gary Bleasdell, thick film business unit director for IRC. "Along with the high dielectric withstanding voltage rating, the SOT-227 style resistors also feature extremely low thermal resistance, high impulse power capability, superior vibration handling,
and an extremely low series inductance of less than 15nH."
The robust high voltage, high power resistors are ideal for high voltage motor drives and military and medical x-ray equipment, along with pulse generators, high frequency amplifiers, and power supply snubbers.
The UL94V0-approved MHP150 to MHP600 Series resistors feature power ratings of 150W, 200W, 250W, 300W, 550W and 600W, with a dielectric withstanding voltage rating to 4000VAC. Resistance range is from 0.1ohm to 1Kohm, with tolerances available from ±1% to ±5%, and TCRs of ±100ppm/°C
when R>=1.0ohm, and ±250ppm/°C when R<=1.0ohm. Operating temperature range is -55°C to +120°C. IRC will also produce devices outside these specifications to meet customer requirements. |
