OHMITE's OX/OY Series ceramic composition resistors are engineered for demanding applications requiring surge handling, high peak power, or high energy dissipation. 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 OY684KE, specifically, offers a 2-watt power rating and 10% tolerance, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and electronic applications. They are RoHS compliant and available in tape and reel packaging for automated assembly.
