Given the wide resistance range, the low TCR, the pulse capability, the industry standard D2PAK packaging and the high power rating, this part has many potential uses in equipment which may require a power resistor. For example, in portable power lighting circuits the PWR263-20S power resistor limits the current without exceeding the maximum temperature of 155 ˚C. The power resistor may also be used as a current sense resistor in battery chargers for electric vehicles. Other applications for the PWR263-20S power resistor include industrial automation machines such as sorting machines, automatic door openers and inverter drives.
