Riedon Custom Designed Resistor Capabilities

Power

  • Aluminum housed heater with flexible leads.  Used as optics package heater in severe-environment security camera
  • Standard 50W aluminum housed or “chassis mount” resistor with custom flying (flexible) leads

Three Terminal Resistors

  • Custom duel wire wound resistor package with three terminals.  Application on the AMRAAM missilecustom resistors offering

High Temperature Precision

  • High temperature transducer compensation resistors available in low TC and various high-TC versions using Evanohm, Balco, platinum, and nickel wires (see also the Joule description).  Available in radial (black) and PC (red) lead configurations.

Custom Shunt

  • Custom designed shunt resistor with manganin resistor element and brass mounting blocks.
  • Special shaped shunt with duel manganin wires, silicone/fiberglass insulating sleeve and specially shaped ring terminals.  Application in the welding industry.

Custom Network

  • Special, qualified high-temperature 11-resistor network.  Complete quality-controlled aerospace missile application requiring QCI testing on each production lot.

Temp Sensing

  • Special temp-sensing resistor using a threaded brass bobbin with integral mounting screw head and high TC RediSeal wire (3500ppm/°C).  Used in commercial oven (pizza) application.
  • Custom temp-sensing resistor with brass heat-transmitting shell.  Wound with Balco wire (TC = 4800ppm/°C)
  • Custom designed wire wound gas flow sensor.  The sensor is a precision tube with two platinum wire windings (TC = 3800ppm/°C).  Applications in semiconductor production gas doping.

Fuse Resistors, Custom Packages, Heater Chip, Low Ohm resistors, etc..all is possible with Riedon!

More custom designed resistor capabilities that we offer to our valued customers.

Custom Package

  • Special “banana plug” resistor used to configure a test board by easily adding or removing the resistor.

Metal Element

  • Showing various form shapes for the MSR low-ohm metal element product line.

Joule Rated

  • Special joule–rated part with custom soldered, flexible lead terminations.  Joule-rated parts are designed survival under high current or voltage spike applications (lightning strike, motor start-up etc.).

Heater Chip

  • Custom thick film heater chip with special surface mount leads.  Applications in the severe-environment security camera industry to prevent fogging of the camera optics package.

Fuse Resistors

  • Special fusible resistor with tight fusing characteristics, clear plastic housing and complete mil/aero qualification documentation for US missile project.

Four Leads

  • Duel precision resistor package with four leads.
