First ohm

The development of electrical resistors has proved to be one of the cornerstones in the history of Firstohm. Soon after its foundation in 1969, the Taiwan-based specialist for electronic equipment managed to have its components fitted into the devices of renowned manufacturers. This is how the development of high-end MELF SMD resistors started.

Today, the production site of Firstohm in Hualien, China, mainly produces MELF resistors, the compact SMD resistors as well as carbon and metal film resistors for a large variety of electric circuits
