RoHS Compliances
While electronic devices have become a way of life for much of the world, their presence have caused adverse effects on the health of many and the environment. In order to offset the risks that disposing of electronic parts creates, the European Union implemented the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive which went into effect July 1, 2006.
This directive is intended to regulate toxic materials in electronic devices and electrical systems. As such, RoHS restricts the use of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ether. These restrictions are intended to apply to the production of consumer electronic equipment, appliances, tools, toys and medical devices. While the directive is currently intended for the European Union, other countries around the world are adopting similar laws and regulations to reduce hazardous materials.

Riedon’s Low Ohm Resistors
Sudden current or voltage changes are often hazardous to electronic products. For example, transients or surges that reach microprocessor or memory components can destroy those expensive parts, and wipe out critical programming and data. Many electronic products now include surge protection circuits.
In these circuits, low value resistors sense when the current is too high so that measures can be taken upstream before the excess current causes damage. Wirewound resistors are a popular choice for these applications. They are inexpensive, available in low resistance values, have low temperature coefficients and good surge-handling capability. Riedon has served this application for years with their "LO OHM" power resistors

Riedon’s Custom Resistors
Flexibility is a key design feature in Riedon resistors, and we structure our manufacturing processes to support this concept. Our goal is to build advanced products that meet your exact requirements, yet complete the process from design to delivery in a minimum time and at a reasonable cost.
Sub-Assemblies and Cable Assemblies
Our flexible manufacturing facility can assemble resistors into higher-level assemblies, simplifying your procurement and manufacturing.
Custom Winding
Riedon's winding expertise is available to solve your custom component needs. We specialize in precision manufacturing using highly managed processes and quality systems. Call us for solutions to special components like resistance flow meter elements, specialized resistive or inductive sensors, coils for linear and rotary motion actuators, and similar wirewound devices.
Precision Compensation Resistors
Riedon's resistors are used for temperature-compensation in many instruments and transducers. These resistors are made with special wire that has the proper temperature coefficient to provide compensation for precision instruments.
