Description

The 100 Ohm 5W Vertical (MPR) Wirewound Cement Power Resistor ±5% Tolerance is a high-performance component designed for applications requiring medium-power handling, precise resistance, and efficient heat dissipation. This resistor is ideal for use in power regulation, current-limiting, and other circuits where reliable, consistent performance is essential.

Key Features:

• Resistance: 100 Ohms, offering a stable resistance value suitable for a variety of applications such as voltage dividers, current limiting, and filtering circuits. It provides the necessary resistance for applications requiring precision and reliability.
• Power Rating: 5 watts (5W), meaning the resistor can safely dissipate up to 5 watts of power without overheating. This makes it perfect for circuits with moderate power requirements, ensuring long-lasting, reliable operation.
• Tolerance: ±5% tolerance, ensuring that the actual resistance will be within 5% of the nominal 100 Ohms. This tolerance is suitable for general-purpose applications where exact resistance is not critical but consistency and reliability are important.
• Wirewound Construction: The wirewound design allows for precise resistance and excellent temperature stability. Wirewound resistors can handle higher currents and dissipate more power than other resistor types, making them ideal for high-power applications.
• Cement Body: The cement casing provides excellent heat dissipation, helping to prevent the resistor from overheating even under continuous load. This ensures that the resistor remains stable and durable throughout its lifespan.
• Vertical Mounting (MPR): The vertical (MPR) mounting style is ideal for applications where space is constrained, allowing the resistor to be mounted upright on a PCB. This configuration provides secure and stable installation in designs requiring vertical component placement.

Technical Specifications:

• Resistance: 100 Ohms
