Vishay VR68 Series High Voltage Axial Resistor 4.7MΩ 1W 10kV

The Vishay VR68 Series High Voltage Axial Resistor is a 1W, 10kV axial leaded resistor with a 4.7MΩ resistance value, designed for demanding high-voltage and high-resistance applications.

Overview

The VR68 Series is a metal film resistor built using metal glaze technology on a ceramic substrate. It provides a resistance of 4.7MΩ with a tolerance of ±5% and a temperature coefficient of ±200ppm/°C. The axial leaded package supports through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards (PCBs).

Key Features

• 1 W power rating
• 10,000 V (10kV) voltage rating
• 4.7MΩ resistance with ±5% tolerance
• Metal film and metal glaze construction on a ceramic substrate
• Axial leaded package for through-hole PCB mounting
• Operating temperature range from -55°C to +155°C

Applications

The resistor is suited to precise voltage division, current limiting, and leakage current control at elevated voltages. Common uses include power supplies, medical instrumentation, X-ray equipment, laser power supplies, and CRT display circuits where high voltage isolation is required. It is also intended for industrial controls and laboratory equipment operating across a wide temperature range.

Dimensions

The overall dimensions are 43 mm (L) x 33 mm (W) x 15 mm (H), and the component weighs 1 gm.

Choose the Vishay VR68 Series High Voltage Axial Resistor when a high-ohmic, high-voltage resistor with a 4.7MΩ value and 10kV rating is required for a through-hole PCB design.
