M-Type Open-Air Metal Alloy Low-Value Resistor

Description

M-Type Open-Air Metal Alloy Low-Value Resistor

The M-Type Open-Air Metal Alloy Low-Value Resistor (Ni-Cr Alloy) is specifically engineered for high-current and power dissipation applications where stable resistance and efficient heat dissipation are critical.
This open-air low-value resistor features an open-air structure that enables natural convection cooling, while the Ni-Cr alloy resistive element provides excellent thermal stability and long-term reliability.
As a robust open-air low-value resistor, it is well suited for demanding industrial power applications requiring consistent performance.
