Power Film Resistor Solutions<\/h4>\n

Riedon offers a multitude of power film resistors in transistor outline packages that would be appropriate for many of these requirements.\u00a0 Our PF2470 series features power ratings up to 140 watts in a convenient TO-247 package with a resistance range beginning at 0.02\u2126 and extending to 51K\u2126.\u00a0 The PF2270 is an extremely versatile series with a power rating as high as 600 watts in a compact TO-227 package.\u00a0 The broad resistance range of the PF2270 stretches from 0.1\u2126 to 1M\u2126, with tolerances as tight as 1%. \u00a0Lower power requirements are supported with our PF2200 (TO-220) series with power ratings to 50 watts and the 20 watt PF1262 (TO-126).\u00a0 In applications requiring surface mount technology we offer our PFS35, a TO-263 packaged device with power capabilities of 35 watts and a resistance range beginning as low as 0.01\u2126 and topping out at 51K\u2126.\u00a0 If a low profile is needed, we offer our PFC10, utilizing the same TO-263 footprint, but featuring a height off the board of less than 1mm vs. the 4.5mm height of the PFS35.<\/p>\n

Wire Wound Resistor Solutions<\/h4>\n

Riedon\u2019s expansive line of wire wound resistors work exceptionally well for use in the high energy locations in the diagram such as braking and surge current protection.\u00a0 The UAL series offers high power handling\u00a0capability in an easy to package aluminum housing.\u00a0 With a very wide range of available resistance values and power handling from 5 watts to 300 watts, this series is appropriate for a wide variety of applications.\u00a0 Our power wire wound UT or UB series offer superior power handling capability in a small package.\u00a0 All of our power wire wound products can be readily optimized for high pulse applications.<\/p>\n

Current Shunt Solutions<\/h4>\n

Finally, for current sensing we offer a number of technologies.\u00a0 For surface mounted products, our CSR and CSRL line of metal element shunts are available in case sizes from 1206 to 2512 with power ratings up to 3 watts.\u00a0 Our PCS series features a true Kelvin connection in a compact package capable of handling up to 40 watts all with an extremely low available TCR of 2ppm.\u00a0 Our rugged RS series of ammeter shunts provide numerous mechanical options with current handling from 1 amp to 10,000 amps.<\/p>\n
