Beryllia Core, Silicone Coated
Power Resistors MIL-R-26 (RW)
& Commercial Industrial Styles
B Series
IRC "B" Series resistors offer power ratings up to 4 times highere than standard power wirewound resistors of
equal size. This is made possible due to a finer heat dissipation pattern. The Series "B" resistors will equal the
same stability and environmental requirements of lower rated conventional resistors.
