Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. Chassis Mount Resistors RER60F1620MCSL

The RER60F1620MCSL is a chassis mount wirewound resistor from Lingto Electronic Limited, qualified to MIL-PRF-39009 standards. It features an aluminum heat sink housing and a molded construction that provides total environmental protection. This resistor is designed for military applications and offers a power rating of 5 watts at 25 °C, with a resistance value of 162 ohms and a tolerance of ±1%. The resistor operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +250 °C and has a maximum working voltage determined by the formula (P x R)^{1/2}. It is constructed with a copper-nickel or nickel-chrome alloy element, depending on the resistance value, and has a ceramic, steatite, or alumina core. The encapsulant is made of silicone, and the housing is aluminum with a hard anodic coating. This product is suitable for applications requiring high reliability and performance under extreme conditions, making it a viable option for engineers looking for robust resistive components in military or demanding environments.
