High-energy resistors offer high power density

The TP Series thick-film high-energy resistors offer the benefits of noninductive performance and high power density. They also provide the impulse energy capability normally associated with wirewound or composition resistors. Double‐sided screen printing of pulse-tolerant thick-film ink, coupled with a sophisticated laser trimming process, maximize the energy-withstanding capabilities of the TP Series.

The 10-W device is the first of a platform of the company's thick-film resistors. TP810 resistors are offered in eight off‐the‐shelf resistance values ranging from 10 Ω to 10 kΩ at 5% tolerance. 

TP810 resistors suit surge protection applications in high-power electrical devices and have been successfully tested at 100 J over a 100-ms pulse.
