The OHMITE OX/OY Series ceramic composition resistors are engineered for demanding applications requiring surge resistance, high peak power, or high energy handling. These resistors are a robust alternative to carbon composition resistors, often difficult to source. They excel in high-voltage power supplies, R-C snubber circuits, and inrush limiters. The OY272KE, specifically, offers a 2-watt power rating, a resistance range, and is designed for reliable performance in challenging environments. They are RoHS compliant and available in tape and reel packaging for automated assembly.
