New addition to the Metallux range of our power resistors PLR

Metallux: Another gap in the compliment of our thick film power resistors has been closed with the addition of the PLR 200.70.51. Continuously growing demands towards performance, achieving high pulse energy on very limited space through optimal heat dissipation characterizes our thick film PLR resistors. Our typical layer composition allows minimal heat transfer resistance, which in turn releases the active resistance layer. The extreme flat design with approximately 1mm thickness (without electrical connection) enables a space saving mounting ideally on an even heat distributing or deflecting area. Impulses with a guideline of >3kJ can be absorbed. Depending on the resistance value which normally will be between 5R and <500R applications with voltages to maximal 1000V can be accommodated. The construction of the resistor assures a negligible low inductivity of the total resistance. Standard connections like wires or plug-in mounts compliment the lay out. Power resistors are commonly used in energy generation, traffic engineering as well as drive and control technology.

The PLR 200 is actually used by one of our customers in the drive technology. Special characteristics like minimal inductivity and an extremely high heat capacity open up new perspectives in the power electronic. Variable resistance values, a wide selection of geometry as well as universal connecting variations round up the product group.

Metallux thick film power resistors

Power resistors in thick film technology on steel substrate with their space saving design allow a high power density within a very limited area. Outstanding characteristics like low inductivity and the possibility to also offer high resistance values open up new perspectives in the power electronic. A standard program with defined parameters is part of the production range of Metallux AG as well as custom specific designs and solutions.

Characteristics:

• Impulse stable
• Low inductivity
• Easy installation
