Series LOR rectangular shape and high thermal conductivity
ceramic case efficiently transfers heat from the internal element
resulting in excellent stability and overload capability. Series LV3
molded design offers improved uniformity for high-volume auto-
placement applications. The resistance element of LOR and LV3
is non-inductive and constructed from near-zero TCR alloy
minimizing thermal instability. Construction is flame retardent,
solvent- and moisture-resistant.

APPLICATION NOTES:
1) 3W parts to be measured at 1.31” [33.3mm], 5W parts at 1.67” [42.4mm].
Also available per customer requirement.
2) 18AWG (0.040” dia) leads are standard on LOR5 and available on LOR3
(specify opt. 18). RCD recommends .040” leads, since the heavier gauge
results in lower lead resistance, improved heat transfer, and lower in-circuit
TCR (.032” leadwires have resistivity of ~1mΩ/in., 0.04” dia. have ~0.6mΩ/in).
An extra inch of .032” leadwire in the circuit will increase the TC of a 10mΩ
resistor by roughly 350ppm. Keep leadwires short for best TC stability.
3) To achieve utmost precision in current sense or shunt applications, RCD
offers LOR3 & LOR5 in 4-terminal version, specify opt.4T (eliminates lead
resistance when utilized in Kelvin configuration). Request App. note #R31 for
performance comparison of 2- vs. 4-terminal.
