Resistors Mounted on Pins/Leads

Post-Mounted Resistors

• High impulse energy rating
• Compact size
• Modular construction
• UL94 V-0 approved

Typical applications:

• Capacitor charging/discharging
• Soft start
• Dynamic braking

Post-mounted resistors offer a compact, cost-effective solution for use in high-energy charge and discharge applications. Units are assembled using stress-proof steel screws and locking nuts with textite porcelain insulating sleeves at each end for ease of mounting. The mounting compression force is achieved by using Schnorr disc springs (2 at each end). Brass terminals are provided for electrical connection.

Units can be pre-mounted to panel or caged using the provided extended studs.

All components used in post-mounted resistors are completely inorganic.

Resistor assemblies are therefore approved in accordance with UL94 V-0 standards with reference to fire and smoke regulations.
