The D2TO35 thick film resistor is non-inductive and provides a wide resistance range of 0.01Ω to 550kΩ. Packaged in the very small TO-263, which measures a 10.1mm by 10.4mm with a low 4.5-mm profile, the resistor saves space on the circuit board, allowing designers to reduce the size of their end products.

The device is intended for power supply, current sensing, power conversion, high-speed switching, RF, pulse generation, load resistor, snubber, pulse-handling circuit, and amplifier applications in end products including industrial welding machines, test equipment, UPS, locomotive, automotive, and base station systems.

Thermal resistance for the D2TO35 at 35W and +25°C is 4.28°C/W junction-to-case. The resistor features a standard temperature coefficient of ±150ppm/°C at resistance values of ≥0.5Ω, with standard tolerances of ±1% to ±10%.

Connections for the new resistor are tinned copper, and they are specified for operation over a -55°C to +175°C temperature range. The device is RoHS-compliant, and supports soldering temperatures at +270°C.

Samples and production quantities of the D2TO35 thick film power resistor are available now, with lead times of eight to 10 weeks for larger orders.
