When limited space is a con-
sideration, choose Ohmite’s
“thin” stackable 250 Type
resistors. These oval-shaped
ceramic-core resistors feature
a low profile to permit instal-
lation in spaces with height
restrictions. They are also
equipped with integral mount-
ing brackets so they can be
fastened to a chassis and
stacked in locations with lim-
ited surface area.
When properly fastened,
the mounting brackets add
a heat sinking benefit result-
ing in a smaller size per watt.
Durable 250 Type resistors are
fully welded and coated with
lead free vitreous enamel.
FEATURES
• Small size-to-power ratio.
• Stackable
• Integral mounting bracket con-
ducts heat to mounting surface.
• Low profile for use in equipment
where space is limited.
• All-welded construction.
• RoHS compliant product avail-
able. Add “E” suffix to part num-
ber to specify.
SPECIFICATIONS
Material
Coating: Lead free vitreous
enamel.
Core: Ceramic.
Terminals: Tinned lug with hole.
RoHS solder composition is 96%
Sn, 3.5% Ag, 0.5% Cu
Derating: Linearly from 100% @
+25°C to 0% @ +350°C.
Electrical
Tolerance: ±5% (J)
Power rating: Based on mount-
ing a single resistor on a metal
surface measuring 10” (254mm)
square by 0.04” (1.016mm)
thick. Reduce rating by 15%
when mounting on non-metallic
surface.
Overload: 10x rated wattage for
5 seconds if max. voltage is not
exceeded.
Temperature coefficient:
1 to 20Ω: ±400 ppm/°C.
Over 20Ω: ±260 ppm/°C
Dielectric withstanding
voltage: 500 VAC: 10 and
20 watt rating. 1000 VAC:
30, 40 and 55 watt rat-
ing (measured from lug to
mounting bracket)
To calculate max. amps:
use the formula √P/R

*Reference dimension only; varies according to resistance value.
Adjustable versions available. Consult Ohmite.
Other sizes available. Consult Ohmite.
Also available in low cost Centohm or Silicone coating. Consult Ohmite.
* Maximum Voltage is based on Ohm’s Law [V=√P*R] as limited by the resistance
value of specified product
Note: When resistors are stacked, use washers or spacers as required to insure clearance
and improve power dissipation.
