BPC10200J

The BPC series non-inductive planar thick film Power Resistor for current limiting and power supply circuits. It is manufactured using 96% alumina substrates with ruthenium oxide resistor and this power resistor is capable of withstanding a 20x overload for 8ms and offers excellent performance and high reliability. This power resistor is available in 3, 5, 7.5 and 10W power ratings. It may be used to limit inrush current when a power supply is switched-ON. It also may be used in series with a capacitor in a snubber circuit to filter spikes in the rising and falling edges of square waves.

• Low inductance
• High frequency operation
• Low board level temperature
• Power is dissipated above the circuit board - Enhances board cooling due to natural convection flow
• Minimises required board area
• Uses only a third board area versus a typical wire-wound resistor
• Low operating temperature at board surface means high temperature solder is not required
• 20x Rated power surge capability
• High Power Resistor
