HS100 overview

HS100 is a component documented by Ohmite Mfg. Co. The PDF description identifies it as "Wound to maximise High Pulse Capability." This guide condenses the most useful engineering information from the available PDF so that designers and sourcing teams can identify the checks that still need confirmation in the original document.

Specifications and operating details

The following points were extracted from the PDF text. Check the associated conditions, notes and limits in the complete document before using a value in a design.

  • T +44 (0) 1872 277431 F +44 (0) 1872 222002 E sales@arcolresistors.com 12/14.08 HS Aluminium Housed Resistors Manufactured in line with the requirements of MIL 18546 and IEC 115, designed for direct heatsink mounting with thermal compound.
  • High Power to volume Wound to maximise High Pulse Capability Values from R005 to 100K Custom designs welcome RoHS Compliant Characteristics Tolerance (Code): Tolerance for low Ω values: Temperature coefficients: Insulation resistance (Dry).
  • For lower TCR’s please contact Arcol 10,000 MΩ minimum At high ambient temperature dissipation derates linearly to zero at 200°C From R005 to 100K depending on wattage size Specify by adding N before HS Series code, e.g.
  • To specify standard: Series, Watts, Ohmic Value, Tolerance Code, e.g.: HS25 2R2 J Non Inductive Resistor.
  • To specify add N, e.g.: NHS100 10R J Heat Dissipation Heat dissipation: Whilst the use of proprietary heat sinks with lower thermal resistances is acceptable, uprating is not recommended.
  • It is essential that the maximum hot spot temperature of 200°C is not exceeded, therefore, the resistor must be mounted on a heat sink of correct thermal resistance for the power being dissipated.
  • heatsink @25°C Watts with no heatsink @25°C Resis- tance range Limiting element voltage Voltage proof AC Peak Voltage proof AC rms.

Engineering review checklist

  • Check resistance value, tolerance, temperature coefficient and long-term stability over the operating range.
  • Derate continuous power for ambient temperature and verify pulse or surge capability separately.
  • Match the land pattern, termination finish and current-sense routing to the exact package option.

Always confirm values against the latest manufacturer-controlled datasheet, especially when qualifying a substitute or releasing a production BOM.
