250 Series
‘Thin’ Stackohm®
Vitreous Enamel Power
When limited space is a consideration, choose
Ohmite’s “thin” stackable 250 Type resistors. These
oval-shaped ceramic-core resistors feature a low
profile to permit installation in spaces with height
restrictions. They are also equipped with integral
mounting brackets so they can be fastened to a
chassis and stacked in locations with limited surface
area.
When properly fastened, the mounting brackets
add a heat sinking benefit resulting in a smaller size
per watt. Durable 250 Type resistors are fully welded
and coated with lead free vitreous enamel.

In addition to the standard box bracket, stud type brackets
are available for stacking the standard size resistors. Stud
type brackets are available in two heights: standard (SS,
0.437”/11.113mm) and high (SSH, 0.531”/13.494mm). The
SSH stud is recommended when stacking the adjustable Type
260, as it assures clearance for the adjustable lugs to pass
eachother. Spacer washer No. 6027 (O.D. 0.219”/5.556mm,
I.D. 0.125”/3.175mm, thickness 0.094”/2.381mm) is recom-
mended for use with the miniature adjustable and fixed resis-
tors to provide clearance, as explained above, or increased
wattage. See chart.

Derating for stacked mounting
Stacked resistors should be derated to prevent excessive tem-
