New Ohmite Heatsinkable Power Resistor Handles 2000 Watts

May 14, 2012 by Jeff Shepard

Offering a very high power density in a 3 x 3 inch footprint and a height of 1.548 in, Ohmite Manufacturing’s new TA2K0 Series of heatsinkable power resistors is available in 14 stocked resistance values, ranging from 0.50 to 1000Ω and provides power ratings up to 2000W.

Stocked in 10% tolerance, these thick film resistors offer a TCR of 250ppm/C. The TA2K0 power resistor provides non-inductive performance in an operating temperature range of -55 to +85°C.

With applications in the manufacturer of fuel cells and the inverters (dc to ac) and charge controllers used in photovoltaic and wind power systems., Ohmite have increased the power rating of their components to meet the demands of products which are scaled up above 10Kv and up to 100Kv.
