The OHMITE 12FR015E is a precision axial wire element resistor specifically engineered for current sensing applications. Its construction incorporates a silicone molding compound and tinned copper terminals, ensuring robust performance and reliability. The resistor exhibits low inductance, typically below 0.25Ω, making it suitable for sensitive circuits. It is available with a standard 1% tolerance and is RoHS compliant when specified with the 'E' suffix. The resistor's derating characteristic linearly decreases from 100% at +25°C to 0% at +275°C, and it can withstand an overload of 5 times its rated wattage for 5 seconds. Its broad temperature range (-55°C to 275°C) makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial environments.
