RALEIGH, N.C. (May 21, 2008) - Resistor manufacturer Stackpole Electronics, Inc. (www.seielect.com) announces an expansion to the RWT series of vertical mount thermally fused wirewounds. The RWT series incorporates a standard wirewound element for excellent surge handling with a 142C thermal fuse to eliminate the chance of overheating or fire. The RWT 5 is UL recognized to Akahane Electronics file number E255350. Stackpole now offers a 2 watt rated element and a 7 watt rated element to accommodate a broad range of commercial, consumer, and industrial applications.
The RWT is available in effective power ratings of 1.5 watts to 2 watts. The effective power rating is the power rating of the resistive element plus the thermal fuse. All three sizes have a fusing current of 2 amps and have TCR's of 200 ppm and tolerances of 5% standard. The RWT is available in resistance values from 1 ohm up to 470 ohms and is 100% RoHS compliant.
The RWT is an ideal choice for all types of white goods, such as clothes washers and dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, and any appliance requiring a high surge withstanding with a safe failure mode.
