Key Features

Terminals for Direct Mounting

on Capacitors

Wires

Type YP Series

The YP series resistors are coated with

multilayer silicone to give an excellent

protection to the resistance wire at

temperatures from -55°C to 350°C. The

terminals are designed for quick and

easy mounting on capacitors and have

a mounting pitch of 22.2 and 31.8 mm.

These are wirewound ceramic core

resistors

designed

for

voltage

balancing

of

series

connected

aluminium

electrolytic

capacitors.

These resistors are also suitable for

capacitor voltage discharge safety

applications in high voltage circuits.

Ideally suited for industrial grade

capacitors.
