Stackpole Metal Oxide Resistors Offer Lower Cost Alternative to Composition and Wirewounds

Stackpole RSF/RSMF metal oxide resistors offer a lower-cost alternative to carbon composition and wirewound resistors.

As electronics evolve, the power and pulse requirements have changed, higher efficiency electronics and motors mean lower power, voltage, and current requirements.

As a result, designs which have traditionally required a carbon composition or wirewound resistor may now be able to use a lower-cost metal oxide.

While not able to handle the same pulse energy as carbon comps or wire wounds, metal oxides offer better pulse handling than standard metal film resistors.

Stackpole’s RSF / RSMF metal oxides have power ratings up to 5W and working voltages up to 1000V. The RSF / RSMF is flameproof and meets UL 94V-0.

RSF/RSMF Metal Oxide Resistors Applications

• power supplies
• LED lighting
• power generation controls
• HVAC controls
• oven and spa controls
• industrial and electro-mechanical controls.

Pricing for the RSF depends on size, resistance value, and tolerance.
