■ Product Introduction

Cement resistors are made by winding resistance wires around non alkaline heat-resistant ceramic parts, protecting and fixing them with heat-resistant, moisture resistant, and corrosion-resistant materials, and placing the wound resistance body in a square ceramic frame. They are filled and sealed with special non combustible heat-resistant cement. The outer side of the cement resistor is mainly made of ceramic material.

Cement resistor is a resistor sealed with cement (actually not cement but refractory mud, which is commonly known as). The resistor wire is wound around a non alkaline heat-resistant ceramic piece, protected and fixed with heat-resistant, moisture resistant, and corrosion-resistant materials, and the wound resistor body is placed in a square porcelain frame, filled and sealed with special non combustible heat-resistant cement. There are two types of cement resistors: ordinary cement resistors and cement wound resistors. The appearance of the cement resistor is shown in the diagram. Cement resistor is a type of wire wound resistor, which belongs to high-power resistors and can allow larger currents to pass through. Its function is the same as that of a general resistor, but it can be used in situations with high current, such as being connected in series with an electric motor to limit the starting current of the motor. The resistance value is generally not large.

Cement resistors have the characteristics of small size, shock resistance, moisture resistance, heat resistance, good heat dissipation, and low price, and are widely used in power adapters, audio equipment, audio dividers, instruments, meters, televisions, automobiles, and other equipment.

■ Main features

1. Characteristics such as shock resistance, moisture resistance, heat resistance, good heat dissipation, and low price.
2. Completely insulated, suitable for printed circuit boards.
3. Wrap the wire around the ceramic rod and then weld the joint to produce precise resistance values and extend its lifespan.
4. The high resistance value is made by using metal oxide film (MO) instead of winding method.
5. Excellent heat resistance, low temperature coefficient of resistance, and linear variation.
6. Resistant to short-term overload, low noise, and resistance unchanged over the years.
7. Good explosion-proof performance, providing protection.

■ Suggestions for using resistors

It is best to leave 1.5 times the power margin for resistors in circuits. For example, if the voltage in the circuit is 100V and the current is 0.01A, the calculated power is P=100 * 0.01=1W. At this time, a resistor of 1W cannot be used, and 1 * 1.5=1.5W is calculated. If there is no 1.5W resistor, a resistor of 2W is needed.
