Wirewound Resistor, Industrial High Power,
Enamelled Corrugated Tape, Tubular
FEATURES
• 160 W to 1 kW at 25 °C
• Material categorization:
for definitions of compliance please see
www.vishay.com/doc?99912
The remarkable dissipation power of this series is the result of an original winding method using corrugated edge-wound tape,
thus forming a very active radiator. The enameling follows the contour of the resistive element and provides effective insulation
and support for the winding.
The tubular core is of special ceramic, capable of withstanding high thermal shock and overload of short duration.
NF F 16101, 10/1988 and 16102, 04/1992: Not applicable (our parts are made of metallic and refractory materials).

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
OVERLOAD:
The RSO resistors are capable of withstanding overloads of about 10
P
r
for a maximum period of 5 s; they can resist
momentarily even greater overloads.
Particular requirements should be submitted to Vishay Sfernice.
