Power Resistor Applications
What are Power Resistors?
A power resistor is a resistor capable of dissipating 5 watts or more. Different types of power resistor constructions include wirewound, carbon & ceramic composition, thick film, thin film, and more.
At Ohmite, we offer multiple product types to suit specific power resistor application requirements. From surface mount components to large load banks, Ohmite carries the products required for your application. When thinking High Power, High Voltage, High Current, or High Energy --- Think Ohmite.
