Bourns announces two thick film resistor series
20 November 2024 Bourns, a leading manufacturer and supplier of electronic components for power, protection, and sensing solutions, has announced its Riedon Model PF2203 and PFS35 Series High Power Thick Film Resistors.
The company says adding to its broad high-power resistor line, the two series are available in compact TO-220 and DPAK packages, offering low inductance, excellent pulse handling capabilities, and elevated power ratings of 35 W that enable enhanced circuit stability and measurement accuracy.
The Riedon Model PF2203 and PFS35 Series High Power Thick Film Resistors by Bourns feature a wide resistance value range from 10 Megohms to 51 Kiloohms, have a temperature range of -55 to 175 °C and are available with resistance tolerance options of ±1% and ±5%. Bourns says it is offering these resistors to match market demands for greater power dissipation in smaller packages. Surface mount packaging, such as the DPAK offered with the Model PFS35 Series, is also particularly popular for its ability to help reduce manufacturing costs.
The features of these thick film resistors are said to make them ideal solutions to meet current limiting, current measurement, and capacitor discharge requirements in a broad variety of applications, including industrial motor drives, AC-DC and DC-DC power converters, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
Bourns says the Riedon Model PF2203 and PFS35 Series High Power Thick Film Resistors are available now, and are RoHS compliant.
