Aluminium Housed Power Resistors
Type HS Series
TE Connectivity are the leading European supplier of standard and custom designed aluminium housed resistors for general-purpose use, power supplies, power generation and the traction industry. The HS is a range of extremely stable, high quality wire wound resistors capable of dissipating high power in a limited space with relatively low surface temperature. The power is rapidly dissipated as heat through the aluminium housing to a specified heatsink. The resistors are made from quality materials for optimum reliability and stability. TE can test resistors to conform to relevant international, MIL or customer specifications. TE are happy to advise on the use of resistors for pulse applications and to supply information for high voltage use and low-ohmic value, alternative mountings and termination type.

Aluminium Housed Power Resistors
Type HS Series
Characteristics - Electrical
Long Term Stability:
Insulation Resistance: Heat Dissipation:
Specification:
For improvements in long-term stability, resistors must be derated as follows; for 50% of stated ΔR maximum dissipation must not exceed 70% of rating; for 25% of stated ΔR maximum, dissipation must not exceed 50% of rating Dry: 10,000MΩ minimum. After moisture test: 1000MΩ minimum. Although the use of proprietary heat sinks with lower thermal resistance is acceptable, up rating is not recommended. The use of proprietary heat sink compound to improve thermal conductivity is recommended for optimum performance of all sizes but essential for HSC200, HSC250 & HSC300 Temperature coefficient below 100R, 50ppm/°C Temperature coefficient above 100R, 30ppm/°C Tolerance, 5% standard: 10%, 3%, 2%, 0.5% & 0.25% available Tolerance for values below R10, 10% standard
