In the event of destruction, the resistor becomes high-impedance, which is why every series is available with a temperature switch. The specified power values were recorded with the resistors positioned horizontally in the air, at a minimum distance of 100mm from the substrate. The power values refer to the standard products with a normal tolerance of +/- 10% at an ambient temperature of 20°C.
