‘Thin’ Stackohm®
Vitreous Enamel Power
When limited space is a consideration, choose
Ohmite’s “thin” stackable 250 Type resistors. These
oval-shaped ceramic-core resistors feature a low
profile to permit installation in spaces with height
restrictions. They are also equipped with integral
mounting brackets so they can be fastened to a
chassis and stacked in locations with limited surface
area.
When properly fastened, the mounting brackets
add a heat sinking benefit resulting in a smaller size
per watt. Durable 250 Type resistors are fully welded
and coated with lead free vitreous enamel.
F e at u r e s
•Small size-to-power ratio.
•Stackable
•Integral mounting bracket conducts heat to
mounting surface.
•Low profile for use in equipment where space is
limited.
•All-welded construction.
•RoHS compliant product available. Add “E” suffix to
part number to specify.

Terminals Tinned lug with hole. RoHS solder composition is 96% Sn, 3.5% Ag, 0.5% Cu
Derating Linearly from 100% @ +25°C to 0% @ +350°C
Tolerance ±5% (J)
Power rating Based on mounting a single resistor on a metal surface measuring 10”
(254mm) square by 0.04” (1.016mm) thick. Reduce rating by 15% when
mounting on non-metallic surface
Overload 10x rated wattage for 5 seconds if max. voltage is not exceeded
Temperature 1 to 20Ω: ±400 ppm/°C
coefficient Over 20Ω: ±260 ppm/°C
Dielectric with- 500 VAC: 10 and 20 watt rating. 1000 VAC: 30, 40 and 55 watt rating (meastanding voltage sured from lug to mounting bracket)
Max. amps To calculate, use the formula √P/R

Derating for stacked mounting
Stacked resistors should be derated to prevent excessive temperatures due to proximity. Approximate ratings are given in
the table.
Percent of Single Unit Rating
In addition to the standard box bracket, stud type brackets
are available for stacking the standard size resistors. Stud
type brackets are available in two heights: standard (SS,
0.437”/11.113mm) and high (SSH, 0.531”/13.494mm). The
SSH stud is recommended when stacking the adjustable Type
260, as it assures clearance for the adjustable lugs to pass
eachother. Spacer washer No. 6027 (O.D. 0.219”/5.556mm,
I.D. 0.125”/3.175mm, thickness 0.094”/2.381mm) is recommended for use with the miniature adjustable and fixed resistors to provide clearance, as explained above, or increased
wattage. See chart.
