GENERAL

HVR's range of High Voltage Resistors for Compact Circuitry are manufactured from a carefully selected mixture of clays, alumina and carbon. After blending, the material is pressed to the required shape and then fired, in a controlled atmosphere, at high temperature.

This sintering process produces a Ceramic Carbon resistor which is 100% active material and therefore of minimum size.

The H.V. Resistors  for Compact Circuitry range feature radial lead terminations and a high quality epoxy resin coating to improve both dielectric withstand and mechanical robustness.

Inherently non-inductive and capable of withstanding transient high voltage impulses, this range is ideally suited to charging, discharge, snubber, voltage divider and overvoltage protection applications. These typical applications feature within high voltage power supplies, lasers, radar, medical and military equipment.
