Organic Resistors
Organic resistors are manufactured from a resin-bonded body of ceramic material, with conductive particles distributed throughout the matrix, to produce a resistor that is 100% active and non-inductive. The organic bonded resistors offer a wider resistance range for those applications where only medium steady state heat dissipation is required, or where high energy pulses are of relatively short duration, as in automotive noise suppression or lightning arrestors.
Electrical characteristics are as follows:
Resistivity Range | 0.20 to 20,000,000 Ohm-in 0.50 to 50,800,000 Ohm-cm |
Maximum Steady State Power Density | 10 watts/in³ |
Maximum Transient Energy Density | 100 joules/in³ |
Maximum Voltage Gradient | 8 kV/in |
Maximum Operating Temperature | 120° C |
Voltage Coefficient | - 5% to -12% /volt |
Temperature Coefficient | 0 to - 0.25%/°C |
Heat Dissipation | 2.86 watts/in² |
U.S. Resistor, Inc. manufactures non-inductive, special purpose and industrial resistors that have found uses in many applications, including high power and high energy surge applications, such as energy transmission and distribution systems, to wind power systems.
