The “A” Series of non-induc-
tive, ceramic composite resis-
tors are designed for a variety
of applications where high
energy handling capabilities
are crucial. These resistors are
ideal for any application which
is subject to surges, high peak
power or impulse energy.
Their unique design allows
uniform distribution of energy
throughout their structure
which results in low thermal
stress. The high-temperature,
solvent-resistant epoxy coating
carries a UL94V0 flammabil-
ity rating which is suitable for
almost any environment.
