Arcol, 15kΩ 38W Wire Wound Fixed Resistor 508BA153KDG2 ±10%

Arcol Ceramic Resistors

High energy Chassis mount ceramic resistor for high peak power or high energy pulses. The resistor has a standard dielectric coating and tin plated, steel right angled radial mounting tabs. Its construction acts to allow energy and power to be uniformly distributed throughout the entire ceramic resistors body. Maximum operating temperature 230°C

500 Series Non-Inductive Bulk Ceramic Slab Resistors provide high power and energy dissipation in a compact size. The 500 Series design enables the designer to minimize resistor package size and cost while providing performance and reliability. The slim, compact resistors offer a number of termination options allowing easy configuration for specific requirements. Ohmite 500 Series non-inductive bulk ceramic slab resistors provide excellent performance where high peak power or high-energy pulses must be handled in a small size. The advantage of the bulk construction is that it produces an inherently non-inductive resistor and it allows energy and power to be uniformly distributed through the entire ceramic resistor body – there is no film or wire to fail. Standard terminal mounting tabs are tin plated steel which are soldered to the resistor body.
