Ohmite High Energy Wirewound Resistors are engineered to maximize the effective joule rating of each resistor through specialized winding techniques. Unlike standard wirewound resistors, these resistors maintain a tight pitch between windings and utilize consistent materials, resulting in predictable performance and published joule ratings and fusing currents. Available in axial, SMD, and heat sinkable configurations, these resistors are ideal for applications requiring high power handling and reliable performance. They are commonly used in power supplies, motor drives, and other demanding industrial applications.
