Did you ever dream of surface-mounting wire-wound power resistors? If you do, Vishay has turned that into reality with a ...
High power wire wound resistors can range from 0.5W to 1000W and those in the hundreds of watts can be coated in a high temperature silicone or vitreous enamel.
The most common resistance alloy is nichrome (nickel-chromium alloy) wire or strip ... Inductive vs. non-inductive power resistors Standard power resistors are simply wound like a coil—this type of ...
Wire-wound resistors are often used when you need resistance with a higher power dissipation than a common film or composition resistor. Using nichrome wire makes this more practical since a meter ...
The power Wire-wound on ceramic tubes and enamel coated, these 0.1( to 1.5M(, 25W-225W, 5% tubular resistors come in fixed and adjustable configurations, and are also available in non-inductive ...
High Energy Wire Wound resistors are ideal for pulse applications where energy rating rather than continuous power rating is the overriding concern for the designer. Standard versions are inductively ...
Resistors are one of the most basic yet crucial components in all electronic devices, but what do they actually do, and how ...
David Wigfield, assistant technical supervisor at KCBS/KLLC in San Francisco, read our mention about occasionally checking transmitter bleeder resistors – or for that matter, any high-power wire-wound ...
A line of miniature surface-mount resistors offers a power range from 0.5 to 5 W. The wire-wound devices feature superior surge capability, improved temperature stability, and negligible noise.
Established in 1966, Nikkohm provides power resistors, wire wound resistors, current detect resistors, precision resistors, microwave resistive components, both thick and thin film thermal converters ...
They are generally less expensive than wire-wound detectors, but the choice of tolerance classes is more limited. Metal Film Resistors take the form of a thin (1 micron) film of platinum on a ceramic ...
