Flame-Proof Fusible Resistors Type FRN Series Characteristics Electrical Type FRN Series FRN25 0.25 R12 12K Rated Power @ 70°C (W) Resistance Range (Ohms) Min Max Tolerance (%) Code letter Temperature Coefficient (ppm/°C) Selection Series Limiting Element Voltage Max Permitted Element Voltage Max Overload Voltage Max Intermittent Overload Voltage Max Withstand Voltage After Fusing Operating Temp. Range (°C) Climatic Category Insulation Resistance Min Dry (ohms) The resistive element comprises a resistive film sputtered onto a ceramic element. Metal end caps are force fitted to the element prior to spiralling. Tinned copper lead wires are welded to the end caps and the components are then coated with four layers of a flameproof cement. All resistors are tested FRN50S 0.5 R12 12K FRN100S 1 R33 10K 5 J FRN200S 2 R30 1K0 ±350 250 250 500 500 300 FRN300S 3 R30 1K0 ±200 (-30°C to +150°C) E12 300 300 600 600 450 -55 to +155 55/155/56 250 250 500 500 350 300 350 600 600 450 300 350 600 600 450 1000M for value and tolerance. The technology allows the manufacture of custom fusible characteristics. Dimensions Key Features ■ Superior quality resistors with fusing characteristics for overload conditions. ■ Flame-proof during fusing. ■ ■ Style Ideal for use in safetycritical and circuit protection applications. These resistors fuse in less than 60 seconds at 16 times rated power.
