RI80 leaded high-voltage resistors
Axial-leaded ceramic tube, 1 W to 30 W, up to 60 kV
1–30 W · withstanding up to 6–60 kV


RI80 series — ceramic tube construction with axial leads, plain or glass-glaze coated
Round ceramic-tube high-voltage resistors with axial tinned-copper leads, wound on a 96% alumina substrate and coated in glass-glaze resistance film. Available from 1 W to 30 W with withstanding voltages from 6 kV to 60 kV, making them the usual choice for bleeder chains, voltage dividers and capacitor discharge paths in switch-mode supplies, X-ray generators and laser drivers. Resistance values span 1 Ω to 100 GΩ. Standard TCR is 100 PPM; 25 and 50 PPM are available to order.
Materials
| Substrate | 96% Al2O3 alumina ceramic |
| Resistive element | Glass-glaze resistance film |
| Termination / leads | Tinned copper |
| Encapsulation | Resin |
| Operating medium | Air (see notes — rating improves substantially when oil-immersed or resin-potted) |
Encapsulation: organic resin or insulating varnish.
Notes on ratings
- All figures are for operation in air. Standard TCR is 100 PPM — specify 25 PPM or 50 PPM when ordering if required.
- Where both a rated voltage and a maximum working voltage are given, use the lower of the two.
- Pulse peak power must stay below 100× the rated power.
