The Vitreous Enamel Coated Wire and Tape Wound Resistors are tough and high-performing components. The PE series comes with a strong enamel coating. This hard finish seals the body and shields the windings from dust, water, and rust. On the other hand, the PT series features heat-resistant tape wrapped tightly around the core. It works best in situations where you need low inductance. Both options use a solid ceramic core. As a result, they stay stable and reliable for a long time.
These resistors give strong and steady performance, even in extreme settings. They offer a wide power range—from 20 watts up to 500 watts. So, they meet different power needs with ease. The enamel-coated models can safely work at surface temperatures as high as 380°C. These resistors also handle overloads very well. That makes them perfect for both steady current and short power pulses. They use solder-coated or tinned wire leads or terminal tags. These parts ensure strong and safe electrical contact. At the same time, they add to the resistor’s physical strength. Each unit follows strict safety and quality standards. Because of this, they keep working well over long periods of use.
You can install them quickly and easily. Thanks to the radial lead design and standard terminal layout, they fit into many different setups. You can mount them upright or lay them flat. Either way, they hold up against shaking and mechanical pressure. Their solid construction means they stay in place and perform well.
