How do Riedon resistors handle an extreme pulse? Riedon was recently contacted by an industrial controls company seeking a solution for a pulse requirement in one of their new products. During normal operation the resistors need to absorb around 100 joules of...

Riedon is proud to announce our new line of metal-clad braking resistors, the BR series. These rugged braking resistors are less reliant on heatsink configuration than resistors using other technologies like thick film or foil. Utilizing aluminium housings, high...

Medical electronics equipment is not longer just found in hospitals, clinics and doctors surgeries. Neither is its use restricted to qualified practitioners. Instead designs have become smaller, more portable and easier to use to the point where now appliances like...

In wirewound resistors, another selection factor is the temperature characteristic of the wire. The resistance of all materials changes as their temperature changes. If the temperature is lowered, resistance (typically) declines. In fact, if cooled sufficiently, the...
