Stackpole's RSF / RSMF Series Low Cost Metal Oxide Resistors up to 5 Watts

The RSF / RSMF Series from Stackpole is a low cost alternative to wirewound resistors rated at 5 watts and below. The RSF / RSMF Series is also rated for operation up to 200 degrees C for the mini ½ watt and mini 1 watt sizes and 235C for all other sizes, where most metal film resistors can safely operate only up to 155C. Sizes from mini ½ watt up to 5 watts have a TCR of +/-200 ppm and 1% and 5% tolerances. In addition, due to the film element technology, the RSF / RSMF Series is inherently fusible. The low cost, high power to size ratio, and high operating temperatures make the RSF / RSMF Series ideal for a broad range of power supply and power control applications, network communications equipment, audio equipment and amplifiers, industrial controls, security and safety controls, avionics and instrumentation, small power tools, lighting controls and sensors, dimmers and timers. The RSF / RSMF Series is available in bulk and tape and reel packaging in size dependent increments. Pricing varies with size, resistance value, and tolerance ranges from around $0.02 each to $0.42 each in full reel quantities; contact Stackpole for details about this series and volume pricing.
