Ohmite Manufacturing has remained the industry's leading provider of resistive products for nearly 100 years since its founding in 1925. Specializing in high-current and high-voltage applications, Ohmite delivers reliable power resistor solutions for the most demanding industrial, commercial, and military applications.
Ohmite's comprehensive resistor portfolio includes:
- Wirewound power resistors
- Thick film resistors (including anti-surge chip resistors)
- Ceramic composition resistors
- Wire element resistors
- High energy non-inductive resistors
- Adjustable power resistors
- Custom load banks and resistor assemblies
A power resistor is designed to dissipate 5 watts or more, and Ohmite offers solutions ranging from standard catalog parts to fully customized designs. Their AS Series anti-surge thick film chip resistors can withstand voltages up to 5KV and single-pulse power up to 4KW. Many Ohmite resistors can be attached to heatsinks for enhanced power dissipation in demanding thermal environments.
