FAQ About Ohmite
Q1: What are ohmite resistors used for?
A: For more than 95 years, Ohmite has been the top supplier of resistive devices for high current, high voltage, and high energy applications.
Q2: Where are ohmite resistors made?
A: Heico Companies LLC, a global holding corporation with a U.S. headquarters, purchased Ohmite in 1998. After many years of operation, the Skokie factory was shut down, and all activities were transferred to Matamoros, Mexico, with the Rolling Meadows, Illinois, headquarters remaining.
Q3: What does a wirewound resistor do?
A: A wirewound resistor is a passive electrical component that controls the amount of current that may travel through a circuit. A conductive wire is used in the construction of wirewound resistors. Next, a non-conductive core is coiled around the conductor wire.
Q4: Where to order Ohmite Resistors online?
A: You can find many Ohmite Resistors from BD Electronics and professional help with any products requests you may have.
