The RC series of axial leaded resistors from Stackpole Electronics has a solid tablet of carbon as the resistance element. It can withstand many times more pulse current and pulse energy, compared to power film anti-surge resistors. In addition, the carbon element has inductance that is as much as 100 times less than comparable wirewound resistors. Finally, the molded package provides uniform dimensions, which are ideal for automated placement equipment.
