This document provides technical information on MPC Metal Plate Cement Resistors. These components are designed as compact types with safety features including nonflammability and insulation. They offer low resistance values and strong performance under surge current conditions.
The data sheet covers various models (MPC 70 through MPC 78) available in different power ratings, such as 2W, 5W, and combined configurations like 2W+2W or 5W+5W. It includes dimensional tables for single and double types, along with key electrical characteristics like temperature coefficient of resistance and overload capabilities.
| Temperature Coefficient of Resistance | +350ppm/°C > & 200 SW (71,74,75) |
|---|---|
| Short-time Overload | < 2 % > 10 x rated power for 5 sec. |
| Withstanding Voltage | > S00V for 1 min. |
| Insulation Resistance | 10MQ < 500V megger. |
| Damp. Load Life | +5 %> 40°C 95% RH, far 1000hr. |
| Load Life | <=5 %> 70°C for 1000hr. |
Yes, specific models like MPC 76 and MPC 74 are designated as low distortion factor products far acoustic products.
The resistors have a PASS rating according to UL 492 standards for unflammability.
