Characteristics - Electrical
Pulse Energy HSA5 to HSC75
TE Connectivity supplies standard and custom designed aluminium housed resistors
for general-purpose use, power supplies, power generation and the traction industry.
The HS is a range of extremely stable, high quality wire-wound resistors capable of
dissipating high power in a limited space with relatively low surface temperature. The
power is rapidly dissipated as heat through the aluminium housing to a specified
heatsink. The resistors are made from quality materials for optimum reliability and
stability. TE Connectivity can test resistors to conform to relevant international, MIL or
customer specifications. TE Connectivity is happy to advise on the use of
resistors for pulse applications and to supply information for high voltage use and
low-ohmic value, alternative mountings and termination type.
