Key features of bulk ceramic resistors
Bulk ceramic non-inductive resistors offer several advantages compared to non-inductive wire wound, film and composition resistors. Features include:
- High reliability; no film or wire to fail
- Chemically inert and thermally stable
- Able to withstand short-time overloads and high peak power
- High power and energy dissipation in space saving designs
- Uniform energy absorption throughout the resistor body, enabling a highly Reliable resistive characteristic
Globar® bulk ceramic non-inductive resistors are available in flexible geometries and a wide range of sizes - from 1/2 watt to a 1000 watts in a single component
