Ohmite's High Energy Wirewound Resistors are engineered to deliver exceptional performance in demanding applications. Unlike standard wirewound resistors, these are wound with a focus on maximizing the effective joule rating and fusing current. This is achieved through specialized winding techniques, ensuring the tightest possible pitch between windings and maximizing the mass of the resistive element. The absence of wire substitutions and abrasive adjustments guarantees consistent performance and allows Ohmite to publish fixed joule ratings and fusing currents for each part number. Available in axial, SMD, and heat sinkable packages, these resistors are ideal for power regulation, motor control, and other high-power applications.
