Precision Power Resistors Components
Ohmite is a power resistor components manufacturer that has been a leader in product innovation for over 95 years. Specializing in Industrial Electronic Components, we have been able to stay at the top of the industry by constantly meeting the demands of our customers, offering multiple constructions, mountings, and application-based products to suit many needs. Through decades of innovation, we have established ourselves as the top provider of resistive solutions in the United States.
Power resistors are used to dissipate energy by converting this energy to heat. They are designed to maintain stable performance under heavy loads and to handle thermal conditions safely. Power resistors are used in a wide variety of applications, from power transmission and distribution networks to defibrillators. Some example applications are transportation, industrial, audio, aerospace, and more.
