The 2-1614782-3 is a Type BDS100 Series thick film power resistor designed for high-power density applications with a 100W rating at 70°C in a compact 38mm × 25mm Isotrop case. It features virtually inductance-free design with series inductance less than 40nH, a wide resistance range from 0.47O to 1MO with ±1% to ±10% tolerance options, and operates reliably across -55°C to +125°C. The resistor provides excellent electrical characteristics including partial discharge less than 10pC at 2kV, isolating voltage of 2.5kVac rms, and insulation resistance greater than 100GO at 500V dc. Common applications include snubbing circuits, balancing resistors in multi-resistor packages, low-inductance filters, and high-voltage high-frequency circuits where power density and reliability are critical.
