New aluminium enclosed resistors from Tyco Electronics are ideal for harsh environments.

Tyco Electronics CJT series resistors feature high IP ratings of IP33 up to IP54, making the devices superior to conventional ceramic resistors when used in harsh environments. Benefiting from easy airtight fitting and the ability to fit a heatsink, the resistors are ideal for inverter braking, as well as loading and charging circuits in harsh environmental conditions.

Highly vibration resistant, mineral filled CJT series resistors feature an aluminium enclosure and a high voltage withstand capability of up to 4KV. Available power ratings are 60W up to 2000W in free air. Resistance values are 1R0 up to 10K with a standard resistance tolerance of 5%.

Customer specific designs such as modular assemblies and a number of package profiles are available upon request.
