MP SERIES

High Performance Molded Heat-Sink Resistors

RCD’s MP series feature power film resistor elements designed 

for excellent environmental stability as well as superior high-

frequency performance (custom designs  up to 1GHz avail.).  All 

sizes feature metal base plate for optimum heat transfer.  The 

resistor is electrically isolated from the metal tab, and molded into 

various package styles with high-temp flame-retardant epoxy.

MP126 and MP220 in reduced wattage ratings now available 

in tighter TCs and tolerances from 10

 to 49.9K: MP126 (5W) 

to 0.025% and 2ppm, MP220 (10W) to 0.05% and 5ppm.

 Industry’s widest range of TO-style power resistors! 

 Standard resistance range: 0.01

 to 56K

 Standard tolerance: ±1%, ±2%, ±5% (available to 0.025%)

 Non-Inductive performance

 Resistor is electrically isolated from the mounting surface

OPTIONS

 

 Option P:  Increased pulse capability

 Option G: Gull-wing lead formation for surface mounting

 Option B:  Increased power design

 Numerous design modifications are available (special 

     marking,  custom lead wires, burn-in, etc). 

POWER RATING

Power rating is based on the resistor being tightly screwed to a suitable heat 

sink (with thermal compound) to limit hot spot case temperature to 155°C. 

Derate W, V, A by .77%/°C above 25°C (as depicted in chart below). Mount-

ing torque not to exceed 8 in-lbs. Refer to Applic.Guide R-34 for additional 

detail concerning heat-sink resistor mounting guidelines.
