The MC4 Series offers numerous advantages, including significant cost savings versus discrete high voltage chip resistors. However, the largest benefit of the series is the design flexibility it offers. A single MC4 can be applied in multiple configurations depending on the needs of a particular circuit.
Customers may select any combination of resistor value — from 200 to 5,000W — and tolerance for all four resistors. Once the necessary specifications are selected, Ohmite will complete the design and assign a unique part number to the custom product for future access and pricing.
Parts are supplied on tape and reel for automated placement and unique, flexible S-Bend terminals provide additional solder joint integrity. This design also allows better separation between components for better airflow and cooling.
