FEATURES
High power to size ratio
Ceramic cases are available with circuit board
stand-offs (designated with a -3 model ending)
Superior surge capability
Complete welded construction
Available in non-inductive styles with Aryton-
Perry winding (CPWN in lieu of CPW, maximum
resistance is one-half CPW range)
Special inorganic potting compound and
ceramic case provide high thermal conductivity
in a fireproof package
Compliant to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC
* Pb containing terminations are not RoHS compliant, exemptions may apply
