Metal film resistors offer more design options

Following the successful launch of industry's first surface mount 5W wire-wound resistor, Welwyn Components is now offering an entire range of metal film resistor solutions based on the same design.

Following the successful launch of industry's first surface mount 5W wire-wound resistor, Welwyn Components is now offering an entire range of metal film resistor solutions based on the same design.

The metal film Z Formed range offers the circuit designer a wide choice of parameter combinations that are not available in thin film chip or MELF styles.

For fusible requirements, Welwyn provides the WFF, FM and EMC families.

These are used for inrush and mains input protection applications.

For current sensing in PSU current monitoring and for control in circuit breaker applications - the MF-S, MFP and 2500 Series are outstanding flameproof cement resistors.

The MFR and RC(P) groups supply low power components, most notably for precision dividing and signal processing across various industrial and medical applications.

Finally, for circuits with a need for high voltage solutions, the MH and GC series offer voltage dropping for power factor correction and also act as barrier and bleed resistors across different consumer applications The Z Forms are compatible with vacuum pick and place systems and are supplied in reeled blister tape.

John Graham, Marketing and Sales Director for Welwyn highlights: "These components were developed with the customer's production costs in mind, namely it offers the potential to remove leaded processing".

"Therefore, affording the customer a move to single line assembly".

"Our WA80Z Series has sparked an industry phenomenon, and we are excited to be able to offer engineers even greater freedom of choice in niche application design".
