ORDERING INFORMATION
TAP600 Series
600 Watt Heat Sinkable
Planar Resistors
Ohmite’s TAP600 delivers
600 watts of reliable power
to a variety of power condi-
tioning, power transmission,
and power control applica-
tions. These resistors can be
used designed for liquid, or
air cooled heat sink systems
used in variable speed drives,
power supplies, robotics,
motor control, and other con-
trol devices.
Resistance values range
from 0.5Ω to 100KΩ in an
easy to assemble package
with a pre-calibrated mount-
ing pressure to the cooling
plate. The versatile TAP600
can be modified by request for
dielectric strength up to 12KV,
connector height up to 42mm,
and terminal sleeves for insu-
lation and creepage distances
to 85mm. Contacts require the
use of M5 screws.
FEATURES
• Dielectric Strengths Up to 12KV
• Special Design for Low Inductive
and Capacitance Values
• Easy Termination to Contacts
with M5 Screws
• Calibrated Mounting Simplifies
Assembly
• Designed to Customer

heat sink temp.*
*This value is only valid by using a thermal
conduction to the heat sink
Rth -cs<0.025°C/W.
The value can be reached by using thermal
transfer compound with a heat conductivity
of 1w/mk. The flatness of the cooling plate
must be better than 0.05mm overall. The
roughness of the surface should not exceed
6.4µm.
