Need a Heater? Use a Resistor!

Riedon can supply wire-wound, thick film, and metal film power resistors in configurations and ratings to fit many heater applications. Resistors are designed for thermal efficiency, high reliability, and can withstand vigorous use. They are effective in small areas where concentrated heat must be applied. Their prices are often more economical than "standard" heaters.

Riedon's power resistors offer significant features for specialty heater applications:

Small Footprint
