Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Can this 22K Ohm 5 Watt fusible resistor replace a standard wirewound resistor?
A: No, a fusible resistor is designed to open the circuit under overload, acting as a fuse. A standard wirewound resistor is not designed for this protective function and should not be used as a direct replacement where overcurrent protection is required.

Q: What is the typical lead pitch for this through-hole fusible resistor?
A: The lead pitch for through-hole components can vary by manufacturer. Refer to the specific datasheet for exact dimensions to ensure proper fitment.

Q: How does the 'Open Circuit (Fuse-like)' failure mode protect components?
A: The 'Open Circuit (Fuse-like)' failure mode ensures that when current exceeds specified limits, the resistor element melts, creating an open circuit. This action interrupts power flow, preventing damage to downstream components.
