The power dissipation of the resistor generates a temperature rise with respect to the ambient. The permissible dissipation is derated for temperatures above 40°C, as shown in the derating diagram, in order to avoid overheating of the resistor. The heat dissipated from the resistor may affect adjacent components, hence proper clearance will be required in order to avoid overheating.
All materials used are non-flammable and inorganic according to UL 94-V0.
These resistors do not feature a limited lifetime when operated within the permissible limits. However, resistance value drift increasing over operating time may result in exceeding a limit acceptable to the specific application, thereby establishing a functional lifetime.
Applications
Lugs with various termination styles suitable for soldering or bolt connection
