Vishay Sfernice
Power Resistor, Thick Film Technology
FEATURES
• 50 Watt at 25°C Heatsink Mounted
• Adjusted by sand trimming
• Leaded or surface mount versions
• High power to size ratio
• Non inductive element
Because of the knowledge and experience in Thick Film technology, Vishay Sfernice has been able to develop a high power
resistor in a TO 220 package called RTO 50. The special design of this component allows the dissipation of 50W when mounted
on a heatsink. The ohmic value is adjusted by sand trimming. This process does not generate hot spots as in laser trimming,
which could lead to microcracks on each side of the curve. This process improves the reliability and the stability of the resistor
and at the same time gives a good overload capability.
