SPECIFICATIONS
Material
Coating: Lead free vitreous
enamel. Very large models (750
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.
Electrical
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 rat-
ing (Measured from terminal to
mounting bracket)
To calculate max. amps: use the
formula P/R
See page 36
for mounting
hardware
Non-Inductive versions available; Other sizes available; Also available in low cost Centohm or Silicone coating; Consult Ohmite.
* Maximum Voltage is based on Ohm’s Law [V=P*R] as limited by the resistance value of specified product
Select 270 Type fixed resistors for applications requiring wattage ratings from 12 to 1000 watts.
The 270 Type resistors are equipped with lug terminals suitable for soldering or sturdy bolt con-
nection. 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.
