This has a metal tab, like a DPAK transistor, but isolated.
I measure about 5 pF from both ends of the resistive element to the
tab. Caddock says 2.3 pF, which is probably one end. It seems awfully
fast.

It's rated for 25 watts, but I wonder how much it's good for mounted
on a PCB. I can via the tab to the ground plane, and maybe to a patch
of copper on the bottom of the board. Something like 6 watts would do
for now, which is probably OK. It won't die from getting hot, so my
concern is heating other parts and scorching the board.
Several other people make similar dpak resistors. I'll get some others
and test them too.
