Series 800 and 1000 Tubular Non-Inductive Bulk Ceramic 

Resistors provide excellent performance for high peak power 

or high-energy pulses. Bulk construction advantageously 

produces an inherently non-inductive resistor; and it allows 

energy and power to be uniformly distributed through the 

entire ceramic resistor body – there is no film or wire to fail. 

We offer a full line of rugged, reliable ceramic resistors.
We offer three distinctly different ceramic materials to afford 

the designer with unique components to meet the most 

demanding requirements:

Tubular Resistors – Series 800 and 1000

 

Type SP

 

resistors are composed of 

materials that withstand high operating 
temperatures resulting in high power 
dissipation. Maximum continuous 
operating temperature is specified at 
350°C. This type is suitable for use in 
oil without an oil-resistant coating

.

Type AS

 

resistors are best suited 

for high energy and voltage pulse 
applications. Maximum continuous 
operating temperature is specified at 
230°C. The standard dielectric coating 
is recommended for use in air, and the 
oil-resistant coating is recommended 
for use in oil.

Type A

 

is a high-power non-inductive 

resistor used when high resistance is 
required.

*  Allowable peak energy/voltage will depend on the resistance value. Consult factory.
** Derate by 50% with oil resistant coating on Type AS resistors. Energy ratings are based on pulses <10 milliseconds.  Type SP ratings can be 

substantially greater for longer pulses. Consult factory.

Termination Metals

Electrical connection to the resistive bodies of resistors is made by metal end bands. The standard metal is aluminum 
for Type SP, silver for Type AS and nickel for Type A. Special terminations of brass, copper or soldered ends are also 
available.

Mounting Clips

In most cases, connections to the resistors may 
be made by using these stock clips.
