IRC's High Density Power
 
   CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (October 8, 2008) --Providing design engineers with a robust device that combines high power and high voltage, TT electronics IRC has raised the dielectric withstanding voltage of its high density power resistors to 4000VAC. Designated the MHP150 through MHP600 Series, the resistors are offered in power ratings
ranging from 150W to 600W.

"The wide range of power ratings not only allows design engineers to specify the appropriate resistor to meet their specific application,
but customers are now able to employ these resistors in high voltage circuits as well," said Gary Bleasdell, thick film business unit
director for IRC. "Along with the high dielectric withstanding voltage
rating, the SOT-227 style resistors also feature extremely low thermal
resistance, high impulse power capability, superior vibration handling, and an extremely low series inductance of less than 15nH."

The robust high voltage, high power resistors are ideal for high voltage motor drives and military and medical x-ray equipment, along with pulse generators, high frequency amplifiers, and power supply snubbers.

The UL94V0-approved MHP150 to MHP600 Series resistors feature power ratings of 150W, 200W, 250W, 300W, 550W and 600W, with a dielectric withstanding voltage rating to 4000VAC. Resistance range is from 0.1ohm to 1Kohm, with
tolerances available from ±1% to ±5%, and TCRs of ±100ppm/°C when R>=1.0ohm, and ±250ppm/°C when R<=1.0ohm. Operating temperature range is -55°C to +120°C. IRC will also produce
devices outside these specifications to meet customer requirements.
