Designed for the automotive industry, the OARS series open-air metal element resistors have a power rating of up to 2W at 25¡C, with 1W at 85¡C, and resistance values as low as 0.003½.The ...

In these applications, the devices provide superior TCR (temperature coefficient of resistance), long-term stability and pulse handling capability when compared to thin-film resistors.
