HV Anti-Surge Resistors Withstand 1000s Of 10-kV Pulses

High-voltage, anti-surge, axial leaded resistors developed by Stackpole use special film that has working voltage ranges from 1600 V dc for 0.25-W size up to 5 kV for 1- and mini 2-W sizes. The ASR Series can withstand thousands of high-voltage pulses up to 10 kV, depending on resistance value. Applications include high-voltage power-supply primary discharge, lighting ballasts, voltage dividers, robotics, industrial controls, and medical diagnostic and monitoring equipment, among others. According to the company, the ASR resistors are less expensive than comparable metal-glaze high-voltage resistors.
