AMS Technologies announces a product enhancement at Caddock Electronics: MP820 and MP821 TO-220 Style Metal Tab Resistors are now compliant with the EU RoHS Directive (2002/95/EC).
A new EU RoHS Compliant molding compound has been qualified by Caddock for use in the MP820 and MP821. All MP820 an MP821 resistors manufactured after January 01, 2008 (Date Code 0801 and later) are fully compliant to the EU RoHS Directive (2002/95/EC).
MP820 and MP821 Series are 20 Watt resistors in a TO-220 style power package with metal heat sink mounting tab. The resistor element is electrically isolated from the mounting surface. MP821 devices feature a resistance from 0.020 to 9.99 Ohm; MP820 devices from 10 Ohm to 10KOhm. The non-inductive resistors are especially designed for measurement, high speed switching, snubbers and RF applications.
