Ohmite L225J2K5 Lug Resistor

The Ohmite L225J2K5 Lug Resistor is a high-power, lug-style resistor with a nominal resistance of 2,500 ohms (2.5 kΩ) and a power rating of 225 watts. This Ohmite component is designed for mounting in equipment where a single, high-dissipation resistor is required, featuring lug-style terminals suitable for chassis mounting and reliable connection in demanding environments. With a resistance of 2.5 kΩ, it serves as a load element or biasing resistor in power supplies, test benches, amplifiers, and other high-power setups that demand stable resistance under load and efficient heat management. The L225J2K5 designation identifies this part within Ohmite’s lug-resistor family, a line known for rugged single-element power resistors capable of handling substantial currents and dissipating heat through its mounting interface. Typical applications include load banks, voltage-dropping or current-limiting stages in power circuits, and laboratory testing rigs where a precise, high-wattage resistance is necessary.
