The OHMITE R5J82RE is a robust 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 ceramic core is coated with vitreous enamel (except for higher wattage values, which utilize a silicone-ceramic coating), providing flame resistance and electrical insulation. These resistors are ideal for applications requiring precision and reliability in electronic circuits, and are RoHS compliant for environmentally conscious designs. Values above 3.9K (3W) and 8.2K (5W) should be used with caution and may require burn-in or thermal cycling.
