Ohmite’s new TCH35 TO220
package resistor provides 35W
of steady state power when
properly used in today’s well
defined heat sink applications.
These very low induction
resistors are built under proprie-
tary processes that deliver 75%
more power handling capabil-
ity than other TO220 package
resistors of similar size.
Standard lead forms are
provided for manual or auto-
matic insertion.
A single screw mounting tab
connects to the heat sink and
should be accompanied by the
use of a thermal compound.
The TCH35 Series offers a low
thermal resistance to the heat
sink of <4.28°C/W.
FEATURES
• 35W Power Rating @ 25°C
• Very Low Inductance Design
• Single Screw Mounting
• Low Thermal Resistance to Heat
Sink @ RTH<4.28°C/W
• Resistance Element is Electrically
Insulated from Metal Heat Sink
Mounting Tab
APPLICATIONS
• Switching Power Supplies
• Snubbers
• High Frequency
• Voltage Regulation
• Low Energy Pulse Loading

The TAH20 is a completely
encapsulated thick film resistor
in the TO220 package outline.
Rated for 20 watts @ 25°C
case temperature, these resis-
tors are electrically isolated,
and molded in a high tempera-
ture case.
Designed for heat sink
mounting, the symmetrical
package is ready for use with
snap-on style heat sinks (we
recommend use of thermal
grease). The TAH20 Series is
very low induction, and avail-
able in a wide range of resis-
tance values in standard 5%
tolerance. 1% tolerance avail-
able by special order.
