I noticed some new resistors that Ohmite has started making that
sound promising for use as Beverage termination resistors. Details:
The OX/OY Series of fixed ceramic resistors are ideal for circuitry
associated with surges, high peak power or high energy. The OX/OY
resistors can often replace carbon composition resistors which can be
difficult to source. Axial leads. UL-94V0 approved silicone coating.
2 watt (OY) specs:
Tolerance: +/-10%
Dielectirc Withstanding Voltage: 750 VAC
Single Impulse Joules Max.: 80
Body Length x Diameter: .886" x .315"
Needing other parts I ordered some to try out (from Digi-Key
800 344-4539). It will be a while before they receive their "stress
test" from area lightning...
