Bulk ceramic resistors from Kanthal Globar are superior to non-inductive wire wound, film and composition resistors for your demanding design situations involving high voltage, current or energy. Features include:
- High reliability; no film or wire to fail
- Able to withstand short-time overloads and high peak power
- Chemically inert and thermally stable
- Available in flexible geometries and a wide range of sizes - from 1/2 watt to a 1,000 watts in a single component
- High power and energy dissipation in space saving designs
- Simple construction allows for uniform energy absorption throughout the resistor body, enabling a highly reliable resistive characteristic
- Metal terminations
- Bulk Resistive Material
- Conductive particles
- Inert matrix
A full line to meet your needs. Whether your problem involves RF dummy loads, high energy pulse work, circuit protection or other high stress applications, Kanthal Globar has a cost-effective solution to meet your needs. Our full product line consists of three basic bulk ceramic materials.
Type AS
Able to absorb large amounts of energy at high voltage while remaining non-inductive. Ideal for:
- Capacitor crowbar circuits
- Impulse voltage generators
- Pulse-forming networks
- High voltage snubber circuits
Type SP
Provide great non-inductive power handling capacity - at frequencies into the GHz range. The unrivaled in applications such as:
- High power/frequency loads
- Current limiting
- Current sensing
- Parasitic suppression
- Snubber circuits
Type A
Non-inductive capability, power dissipation and energy absorption at high voltage when high resistance is required. Applications include:
- Capacitor discharge/bleeder
