The RGG series (equivalent to RX27-5 type) is a high-power, ceramic-encased wirewound resistor designed for demanding industrial and commercial applications. Its non-flammable ceramic casing provides excellent heat dissipation, flame retardancy, and environmental protection, making it ideal for high-temperature and high-surge conditions.
■ Advantages
The RGG series ceramic encased wire wound resistor is engineered for applications where standard resistors fail. Its robust ceramic encasement provides a critical combination of power handling, safety, and durability that is essential for industrial, automotive, and high-reliability systems.
1. Superior Power Handling and Heat Dissipation
High Power Rating: Designed for 2W to 20W power dissipation, effectively managing significant energy loads.
Excellent Heat Dissipation: The ceramic casing acts as a heat sink, rapidly transferring heat away from the resistive wire element. This prevents overheating and maintains stability at high power levels, ensuring a long service life.
2. Exceptional Reliability and Flame Retardancy
Non-Flammable Safety: The ceramic material is inherently non-flammable (UL 94V-0 compliant), making these resistors ideal for safety-critical applications. They will not support combustion, even under severe overload conditions.
High-Temperature Operation: Capable of operating at ambient temperatures up to +275°C, far exceeding the limits of plastic-coated resistors.
3. Outstanding Surge and Pulse Withstand Capability
Robust Construction: The wirewound element within a sturdy ceramic core is specifically designed to withstand high-energy transient surges and short-duration pulses, such as those encountered in motor start-ups, inverter circuits, and power supply inrush currents.
4. Maximum Environmental Protection
Hermetically Sealed Options: Many models are effectively sealed against moisture, dust, and corrosive gases. This provides outstanding resistance to harsh environments, including those found in industrial automation, automotive under-the-hood applications, and outdoor equipment.
Mechanical Strength: The rigid ceramic casing offers superior resistance to vibration, shock, and physical damage compared to molded components.
5. Stable Performance Under Stress
Low Inductance Options: Ceramic encased wire wound resistoravailable with specialized winding techniques to minimize inherent inductance (Ayrton-Perry winding), making them suitable for AC and pulse applications where inductance must be controlled.
