Frequently Asked Questions
Is this part RoHS compliant?
Yes. The "RC" suffix in the part number designates RoHS compliance across the CR-RC Series.
What are the physical dimensions?
Datasheet lists body dimensions of 49 x 10 x 9 mm for the CR10 series. The photo shows a clean body with straight axial leads extending beyond the cement block. Verify fit against your PCB or mounting space before ordering.
Is this suitable for speaker crossover use?
Yes. The 12 ohm value and 10W power handling make it a direct fit for passive crossover networks where a stable fixed resistance and adequate power dissipation are required.
Is a datasheet included?
Not included. The part is from the Xicon CR-RC Series and datasheets are widely available from electronics component reference sites.
A 12 ohm wirewound in a cement jacket has been a crossover builder's quiet workhorse for decades - steady, honest, and indifferent to heat. Drop it in and get back to the part that matters: how it sounds.
