Power Wirewound Resistors

DeMint's new flat core winding technology allows for wirewound heatsinkable resistors affording a very low profile, and superior thermal transfer characteristics when compared to conventional aluminum housed type.

Applications for electrical industry range from large capacity metal clad, nonflammable fixed wirewound, nonflammable wave shape ribbon, slide type wirewound, box type, wirewound starter, to nonflammable flat wirewound type.

DeMint extends a complete line for both military and commercial applications.

Fixed Wirewound

Thumbnail Description
(DR) Smooth Wirewound Tubular Power Resistors
DeMint power smooth-wound resistor is designed and built to meet the most demanding mechanical and electrical requirements in the industry. They are constructed of a ni-chrome or stainless steel wire alloy wound on a porcelain tube. The element is then covered with a non-flammable refractory cement coating either with or without a silica sand additive in high temperature. The coating aids in dissipating heat, elevating the permissible watt rating. Due to DeMint excellent winding technolgy applied , many taps can be added, impedance is low and the shape can be altered to produce many types.
