TE Connectivity HCH series aluminum housed braking resistors

TE Connectivity (TE) Aluminum Housed Braking Resistors HCH Series are wire wound power resistors, designed and tested to absorb high power overloads. They are suited for energy braking, power supply, robotics and automation control applications.Aluminum Housed Braking Resistors HCH series were tested by applying the specified overload power for 1s or 5s or 40s seconds within a 120s cycle comprising of both on and off periods. These are equivalent to duty cycles of 0.83%, 4.16% and 33.3% which are typical braking cycles used in drive systems.

Features

• High power overload capability
• IP54 ingress protection
• PTFE insulated flying leads for connection flexibility
• Four variants (200W to 500W at 40ºC)
• Available in 5% and 10% tolerances

Applications

• Energy braking
• Power supplies
• Frequency convertors
• Robotics
• Automation controls
