In order to meet the demands of multiple applications, Ohmite produces its market leading resistors in multiple constructions. Wirewound, Composition, Thick Film, and Thin film are just a few of the popular constructions offered by Ohmite.
- Wirewound: Good stability and high-temperature performance.
- Composition: High energy and pulse handling.
- Thick Film: High values and high voltage performance.
- Thin Film: high-value stability and tight tolerance.
Composition
What is a Composition Resistor? Composition resistors are produced using a mixture of a finely ground insulator and conductor. This mixture is then compressed into a cylindrical shape. Terminals… Read More
Thick Film
What is a Thick Film Resistor? Thick film resistors are produced by applying a resistive film or paste, a mixture of glass and conductive materials, to a substrate. Thick film technology allows… Read More
Ceramic Composition Resistors
Ohmite offers ceramic composition resistors in multiple material types. These ceramic-based resistors can range from, 1/2 watt to a 1000 watts in a single component, and are compatible with… Read More
Wirewound
What are Wirewound Power Resistors? A wirewound resistor is an electrical passive device that limits or restricts current flow in a circuit. Wirewound resistors are constructed using a conductive… Read More
Thin Film
Thin Film resistors are known for stability and tight tolerances. A sputtering technique is used to apply the film. This process allows the same high values of a Thick Film product but yields… Read More
Foil
Metal foil construction resistors are known for their stability and low inductance. A foil resistor is produced using a thin piece of photoetched resistive material. This etching is used to produced… Read More
Element / Shunt
Element resistors, or Shunts, are produced using a solid piece of resistance material. Depending on the material chosen, these resistors can yield great stability in very low values. This stability… Read More
