Power Resistors for reliable circuit protection

Our wire wound power resistors are designed for reliable control of current and voltage. We manufacture three types of wire wound resistors: chassis mount, surface mount, and through-hole resistors. We also make cement-encased wire wound power resistors.

Choosing Power Resistors

Power resistors protect technology by converting large amounts of energy into heat that can be dissipated. Designing your devices for long-term reliability requires power resistors that can withstand performance requirements. Learn how you can select the right power resistor for your design.

Surface Mount Resistors

Our portfolio includes high voltage, low ohmic, chip, and precision resistors, with varied ranges of power rating, tolerance, resistance, and temperature coefficient.

Through-Hole Resistors

A through-hole resistor is a fixed resistor that has long, pliable leads that can be stuck into a breadboard, or hand- or wave-soldered into a printed circuit board.

Potentiometers

We offer Citec potentiometers with eyelet or PCB termination type. Our products offer a resistance as low as 10Ω or as high as 560KΩ and come either sealed or unsealed.
