Description
Ohmite Mfg. Acquires Kanthal – Electronic Components Business
Kanthal – Electronic Components Business provides a full line of ceramic non-inductive resistors for demanding applications involving high voltage, high current, high energy or high power resistors. The business also provides Maxcap® double layer capacitors for demanding high energy density applications.
Kanthal’s Globar ceramic resistor products will be combined with Ohmite’s existing A series and OX/OY series product lines to form the new Ohmite Ceramics Resistors Division. The new products will be available on a direct basis from Ohmite as well as through Ohmite’s partnership with leading electronic distributors worldwide. Ohmite further enhances its position as a global power resistor manufacturer with this strategic acquisition and now provides a complete product offering across the three leading solutions platforms including ceramic/composition, thick film and wirewound construction.
Ohmite and its affiliate ARCOL Resistor Company, based in Cornwall, U.K., supply the following resistive and thermal solutions:
• Wirewound resistors: including non-inductive products, load banks and rheostats
• Thick-film resistors: for consumer products, industrial IoT and transportation
• Ceramic/composition resistors: for high-voltage and high-pulse needs
• Thin-film resistors: including most of the popular global sizes
• Heat sinks: enabling a better interface with components to increase efficiencies
• Value-added components: customized thermal products are available
• Chassis/aluminum-housed resistors: for heavy industry and transportation
• Capacitors: high energy density capacitors
OHMITE MANUFACTURING COMPANY is a leading supplier of power products to the electronic components industry. Its main product lines are power resistors, rheostats and thick film products. Other products include substitution boxes, power controls, inductors, chokes, heat sinks and rotary tap switches.
