PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS 

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

•  RL series is an innovative method of providing low inductance resistors in a cylindrical ceramic body and is increasingly replacing the 

moulded version due to its performance superiority and lighter weight.

•  The resistive element consists of a flat metal band which is spot welded to the copper terminals before encapsulation.

•  The resistors are finding increasing use in industrial applications where pulse rating and ability to absorb high inrush current is required.

•  Another important application is Current Sensing in applications which include switching and linear power supplies, instruments and  

power amplifiers.

•  For the effective utilization of these resistors, please refer to “Application/design notes for current sense resistors”.

Note : Type RL 0.5 and RL - 1 can be supplied with lead diameter of 0.6mm instead of 0.8mm and RL2 / 3 & 4 can be supplied with lead φ 

of 1 mm instead of 0.8 mm. Please specify at the time of placing the order.

Taping :  Types RL 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 can be supplied in taped form. Please refer to tape / ammo pack specifications.

1.  For RoHS version – RL2 *

2.   For Tape / Reel packing – RL2 TR

3.   For Tape / Ammo packing – RL2 T

4.   If the current required during normal operation exceeds 31 amps on a continuous basis, it is advisable to opt for 2mm terminations. 

For this – RL4 (2), RL5 (2), RL10 (2)

5.   Specify lead diameter at the time of ordering. RL1 (6) OR RL3 (1)
