Description
RCD Components BW1/2F-10 Carbon Film Resistor 10 Ohms 1/2W 5% Axial Through Hole
Advantages and drawback
Carbon film resistors are a significant improvement on carbon composition. However, in comparison to metal film and metal oxide film, the commercially available range steadily decreases. Metal and oxide film are not more expensive to produce, and have overall better properties.
Carbon film resistor applications
Typical use for carbon film resistors is in high voltage and temperature applications. Operating temperatures are up to 15kV with a nominal temperature of 350°C. Examples are high voltage power supplies, radar, x-rays and laser.
RCD has been a key manufacturer of standard and custom Resistors/Capacitors/Coils/Delay Lines for over 40 years. RCD’s USA plant is the home of the SWIFT program, and also specializes in military, aerospace and custom/specialty products. Caribbean and Asian facilities are geared for medium to high volume production, helping to ensure the industries most competitive pricing.
