TT Electronics WDBR-UL Series Ultra-Low-Profile Power Resistors

TT Electronics WDBR-UL Ultra-Low-Profile Power Resistors are perfect for dynamic braking, inrush limit, and snubber circuits. These resistors can handle up to 7kW of peak power, featuring a design with low inductance and high isolation, even after failsafe overload fusing. Their construction is RoHS-compliant and non-flammable, with a robust dielectric layer applied to a precision-machined stainless steel substrate. Thick-film conductor and resistor patterns are printed, fired, and shielded with a high-temperature overglaze. The termination pads come with tinned solder and the option for terminals or soldered-on leads. TT Electronics WDBR-UL Ultra-Low-Profile Power Resistors are suitable for single-fixing heatsink mounting, with the WDBR-UL series boasting UL 508 certification.
