TE Connectivity ROX Series Through Hole Resistor 68KΩ, 3W, Axial

The TE Connectivity ROX Series Through Hole Resistor is a robust, flame-proof component designed for demanding power applications. This metal oxide film resistor is constructed with the resistive element deposited on a ceramic former, all protected by a flameproof coating that withstands significant overload conditions without sustaining flame or mechanical damage. This makes it exceptionally safe and reliable for circuits where protection is paramount.

With a resistance value of 68kΩ and a high 3W power rating, this resistor offers excellent performance in a compact, space-saving form factor. It delivers high surge and overload capability, ensuring stable operation even under stressful electrical conditions. The resistor also features excellent long-term stability and a controlled temperature capability, providing consistent performance over its lifespan.

Its solvent-resistant coating and clear colour code enhance durability and ease of identification during assembly. The axial leaded package is designed for straightforward through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards (PCBs), making it a versatile choice for a wide range of electronic designs.

Key Applications

This resistor is highly recommended for line protection and other critical circuit functions. Typical applications include:

• Capacitor pre-charge circuits
• Capacitor discharge systems
• Voltage balancing networks
• Snubber circuits to suppress voltage transients

Built to operate reliably in a wide temperature range from -55°C to 155°C, this component is suitable for industrial, automotive, and telecommunications equipment where environmental resilience is required.
