Type MPC Series
A range of non inductive thick film
power resistors complementing the
T0220 packaged MPR series
(20 Watt heat sink styles), being
vertically mounted and suitable to
dissipate power from 3 Watts up to
10 Watts. Available in values from
1R0 to 200K ohms they are the
idea solution for small snubber
circuits, the output side of high
speed pulse generators and low
inductive resistor requirements in
switch mode power supplies.
