The Ohmite R5J50R is a tubular radial terminal wirewound resistor specifically engineered for printed circuit board (PCB) integration. Its radial construction allows for direct insertion into standard 0.10 inch matrix boards, reducing board temperature and increasing packaging density. The resistor utilizes a ceramic core coated with vitreous enamel (except for values above 4.7K (3W) and 7.5K (5W), which are supplied in silicone-ceramic coatings). These resistors are suitable for a variety of industrial applications where precise resistance and thermal stability are required. Values above 3.9K (3W) and 8.2K (5W) should be used with caution and may require burn-in or thermal cycling.
