Overview
The Allen-Bradley carbon composition resistor hot-molded fixed type represents a proven industrial and audio-grade passive component. The standard resistance range of these superior hot molded carbon composition resistors is 1 ohm up to 22 megohms. These American-made carbon composition resistors were made in Wisconsin, reflecting decades of manufacturing excellence.
Key Features
- Hot-Molded Construction: These resistors are extremely rugged due to the hot molding process, delivering superior durability and dimensional stability.
- Axial Termination: Standard axial lead configuration for easy breadboard and PCB insertion.
- MIL-SPEC Compliance: Conforming to MIL-R-39008 specifications for military-grade reliability standards.
- Oxygen-Free Copper Leads: The leads are oxygen-free copper leads, ensuring minimal signal degradation and corrosion resistance.
- Tolerance Options: These rugged, low-shocks, low-vibration resistors can be ordered in 5% tolerance (color code gold) or 10% tolerance (color code silver).

- High-reliability RF and telecommunications circuits
Compatibility & Replacements
Allen Bradley resistors are made by an exclusive hot molding process on automatic machines developed, built, and used only by Allen Bradley. These components provide exceptional long-term performance in retrofit and original equipment applications. When used according to published ratings and recommendations, Allen Bradley hot molded fixed resistors will not open circuit nor exhibit erratic changes of resistance value. They are probably the most reliable of all electronic components. Bulk lots are ideal for production runs, system restoration, and inventory stocking for vintage equipment servicing.
