Bourns FW20A4R70JA Fusible Power Resistor

Bourns FWxxA series fusible power resistors are axial leaded wirewound resistors engineered to provide overcurrent protection by fusing under abnormal conditions. These resistors are designed to safely fuse when exposed to 120 or 240V, preventing damage to the circuit. They find applications in white goods, inverters, lighting, and metering systems. The resistors are RoHS compliant and recognized under UL 1412, ensuring adherence to industry standards. Their construction includes a wirewound resistance element around a ceramic core, tinned copper lead wires, an insulated resin housing, and a coating material meeting UL 94V-0 requirements for enhanced safety.
