Rolling Meadows, Illinois - December, 2005 - Ohmite Manufacturing Company proudly announces the introduction of TFS Series resistors which have been specifically designed and developed in order to absorb much more energy compared to standard film resistors. Ideal for medical surge protection applications, these thick film resistors offer non-inductive performance in an axial package.

Available in 6 standard sizes, these flat, axial leaded devices cover a range from 0.5 watts to 2 watts, with energy ratings from 6 to 55 joules for a single impulse. Operating voltages range from 3kV to 11kV, with a resistance range from 100 ohms to 100,000 ohms; 1% tolerance is available. TFS Series features a TCR of 100ppm/°C.

Applications include power supply conversion, electron microscope, X-ray system, high-resolution CRT display, and geophysical instrument related products.
