Low Resistance Metal Element Resistor LOB Series * * * * * * * Low TCR High stability over life Tolerances from 1% to 5% Ultra low resistance values (0.005 to 0.1 ) Inherently non-inductive (.02 h @ 0.5 MHz) Available in 1W, 3W, and 5W rated packages Lead free RoHS compliant construction available DESCRIPTION: The LOB Series power precision metal element resistors feature resistance values down to 0.005 with virtually no inductance. Available in 1, 3, and 5 watt rated axial leaded packages, these resistors are compatible with automatic insertion equipment. APPLICATIONS: * Switchmode and linear power supplies * Automotive current-sensing circuits * Instrumentation * Regulators CONSTRUCTION: The LOB Series resistors feature tinned copper leads welded directly to a low-temperature coefficient resistance element in a highly automated proprietary process. The leaded resistor elements are then encapsulated in a molding compound. Specifications Style Continuous Power Dissipation @ 25C in free air (watts) Overload Power for 5 seconds (watts) Maximum Working Voltage (volts) Maximum Storage Temperature (C) LOB-1 1 5 1 x R 175 LOB-3 3 15 3xR 175 LOB-5 5 25 5xR 175 *Power Dissipation - The maximum wattage rating depends upon the amount of heat which can be transferred to the surroundings while not exceeding the maximum element temperature. Ambient air temperature, velocity of cooling air, thermal resistance of heat, and the temperature of surrounding objects will affect this transfer, and must be taken into account when selecting a resistor.
