Non-inductive Wirewound Resistors (KNPN)

Non-inductive Wire Wound Resistor Improves Inductance for High Frequency Applications.

DeMint Electronics has introduced a non-inductive version KNPN resistor of conformal coated, leaded wirewounds. The KNPN non-inductive wire wound resistor offers the expected performance with the added characteristic of vastly improved inductance, making it suitable for high-switching applications.

Wirewound technology has long been known as a leading technology for power resistor needs though it is inherently inductive. Known as Ayrton Perry winding, a non-inductively wound has one winding in one direction and one in the other direction.

By using a non-inductively wound version this greatly reduces the inductance of any given resistor size and value combination; however, it does not completely eliminate the inductance.

This non-inductive winding is available in all standard KNPN sizes from 0.5 watts up to 6 watts with options 1%, 2% and 5% tolerance. The KNPN series is RoHS compliant and also can be supplied with radial, goalpost or lancet preformed leads.
