The "C" series of epoxy coated, radial lead resistors can absorb high energy at voltages up to 44kV. They are ideal for high voltage applications requiring non-inductance, as in pulse-forming and fast crowbars. Typical uses are in high voltage test equipment and cardiac defibrillators. (read more)

High-Energy Rod and Tube resistors are especially useful in applications requiring maximum energy density in a tube resistor. The standard termination is a metalized ferrule. Alternatives such as radial tabs and high voltage ferrules allow for mounting options or enhanced performance. Available configuration options optimize performance in air, oil or other dielectric.

The RT series of non-inductive, ceramic composite resistors are ideal for circuitry associated with surges, high peak power or high energy. They offer enhanced performance in high voltage power supplies, R-C snubber circuits, and inrush limiters. In pulsed applications, these compact resistors distribute the energy uniformly throughout their structure, resulting in low thermal stress. (read more)

Aeroflex / Metelics resistor and fixed attenuator chips are fabricated using Aeroflex / Metelics' advanced photolithography and state of the art thin film metallization technology. These products are ideally suited for use in hybrid assembly applications. (read more)
