Low Resistance Power Film Resistors

The MP916 Kool-Pak® power film resistors from Caddock are a low cost, heat sink mountable design featuring an exposed ceramic heat dissipating mounting surface. The standard resistance values available are 0.01Ω and 0.015Ω with a power rating of up to 16W at +25°C case temperature derated to zero at +150°C. The MP916 series tolerance options available are ±5.0% ( standard) and ±20.0%. The MP915 series Kool-Pak® power film resistors are constructed with Caddock’s Micronox® resistance film fired onto a flat ceramic substrate. The terminal attachment and resistance element geometry are configured to provide outstanding non-inductive performance.
