RCH
Power Resistors, for Mounting onto a Heatsink
Thick Film Technology
Vishay Sfernice
OVERLOADS
The applied voltage must always be lower than the maximum overload voltage as shown in the special features table.
The values indicated on the graph below are applicable to resistors in air or mounted onto a heatsink.
POWER RATING CHART
For resistors mounted onto heatsink and thermal resistance of 1 °C/W.
To improve the thermal conductivity, surfaces in contact should be coated with a silicone grease.
MARKING
Model, Style, Resistance Value (in Ω), Tolerance (in %), Manufacturing Date, VISHAY trade mark.
