Coating Lead free vitreous enamel. Large models (500 watts and up) are supplied in Silicone Ceramic.
Also available in low-cost Centohm coating; Consult factory.
Core Tubular ceramic.
Terminals Solder coated radial lug. RoHS solder composition is 96% Sn, 3.5% Ag, 0.5% Cu
Derating Linearly from 100% @ +25°C to 0% @ +350°C.
Tolerance ±5% 1Ω and over (J); ±10% under 1Ω (K)
Power rating Based on 25°C free air rating.
Overload 10 times rated wattage for 5 seconds.
Temperature coefficient 1 to 20Ω: ±400 ppm/°C; Above 20Ω: ±260 ppm/°C
Dielectric withstanding voltage 1000 VAC: 12 to 100 watt rating. 3000 VAC: 175 to 225 watt rating (Measured from terminal to
mounting bracket)
Max. amps use the formula √P/R
Power limitations for
high resistance values
When resistance exceeds the resistance values listed, derate the Power Rating by 25% to
improve reliability. No power derating necessary for ratings higher than 100W.

Mounting Hardware see http://www.ohmite.com/techdata/lug-mounting.php
Select 270 Type fixed resistors for applications
requiring wattage ratings from 12 to 1000 watts.
The 270 Type resistors are equipped with lug termi-
nals suitable for soldering or sturdy bolt connection.
When secure mounting is required, the hollow core
of these resistors permit fastening with spring-type
brackets, thru bolts or thru bolts with slotted-steel
brackets.
Suitable for rugged applications, the 270 Type
resistors feature all-welded construction and durable
lead free vitreous enamel coating. Mounting brackets
not included with resistors.
