RX-1M5009KE - Ohmite

RX-1M5009KE Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the thermal resistance of the RX-1M5009KE?
  The thermal resistance of the RX-1M5009KE is not explicitly stated in the datasheet, but it can be estimated to be around 1.5°C/W based on similar resistors from Ohmite.
• Is the RX-1M5009KE suitable for high-frequency applications?
  While the RX-1M5009KE is a wirewound resistor, it is not optimized for high-frequency applications. It may exhibit significant inductance and self-resonance, making it less suitable for high-frequency circuits.
• Can the RX-1M5009KE be used in high-vibration environments?
  The RX-1M5009KE is a wirewound resistor with a ceramic core, which makes it relatively robust against vibrations. However, it's still important to ensure proper mounting and securing of the resistor to prevent mechanical stress and damage.
• Is the RX-1M5009KE compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
  Yes, the RX-1M5009KE is compatible with lead-free soldering processes, as it is designed to meet the requirements of RoHS and WEEE directives.
• What is the recommended derating curve for the RX-1M5009KE?
  The recommended derating curve for the RX-1M5009KE is not explicitly stated in the datasheet. However, as a general guideline, it's recommended to derate the resistor by 1-2% per degree Celsius above the rated temperature of 155°C.
