OHMITE's OY820KE resistor is a ceramic composition resistor within the OX/OY series, engineered for demanding applications requiring high peak power and surge handling capabilities. These resistors are a robust alternative to carbon composition resistors, often hard to source, and are well-suited for high-voltage power supplies, R-C snubber circuits, and inrush limiters. The OY series offers 2-watt power dissipation and a 10% tolerance, ensuring reliable performance in challenging environments. They are RoHS compliant and available in tape and reel packaging for automated assembly.
