AH-10 - Ohmite

AH-10 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the thermal resistance of the AH-10?
  The thermal resistance of the AH-10 is typically around 10°C/W, but this can vary depending on the specific application and mounting method. It's recommended to consult with Ohmite's technical support for more detailed information.
• Can the AH-10 be used in high-frequency applications?
  While the AH-10 is primarily designed for high-power, low-frequency applications, it can be used in high-frequency applications up to 100 kHz. However, the resistor's performance may degrade at higher frequencies due to inductive effects. It's essential to evaluate the resistor's performance in your specific application.
• How does the AH-10 perform in high-temperature environments?
  The AH-10 is designed to operate up to 250°C, but its power rating decreases as the temperature increases. Ohmite provides a derating curve in the datasheet to help engineers determine the resistor's power rating at elevated temperatures.
• Is the AH-10 suitable for high-vibration environments?
  The AH-10 is designed to withstand moderate vibration levels, but it's not intended for extreme vibration environments. If your application involves high vibration, it's recommended to consult with Ohmite's technical support to determine the best solution.
• Can the AH-10 be used in humid or wet environments?
  The AH-10 is not designed for use in humid or wet environments. It's recommended to use a conformal coating or potting compound to protect the resistor from moisture in such applications.
