Type YP Series
The YP series resistors are coated with
multilayer silicone to give an excellent
protection to the resistance wire at
temperatures from -55°C to 350°C. The
terminals are designed for quick and
easy mounting on capacitors and have
a mounting pitch of 22.2 and 31.8 mm.
These are wirewound ceramic core
resistors designed for voltage
balancing of series connected
aluminium electrolytic capacitors.
These resistors are also suitable for
capacitor voltage discharge safety
applications in high voltage circuits.
Ideally suited for industrial grade
capacitors.
