Bird Electronic Corporation Load Resistor, 5 kW, 1-5/8 Flanged, w/ Thermoswitch
The Bird Electronic Corporation 8922-T8 is a high-power RF load resistor designed for use in broadcast and communications applications. This model is rated for 5 kW continuous power dissipation and features a 1-5/8 inch EIA flanged connector for secure and reliable connection to compatible transmission lines. The 8922-T8 is equipped with a thermoswitch, which provides thermal protection by monitoring the temperature of the load and enabling external alarm or shutdown circuits if overheating occurs. This termination is engineered for precise impedance matching and low VSWR, ensuring minimal signal reflection and optimal performance in demanding RF environments. The robust construction and integrated safety features make it suitable for use in transmitter test benches, dummy load applications, and system maintenance.
