The resistors are suitable for LED and lighting, instrumentation and test, audio, security, HVAC applications. The ASR and ASRM are available in sizes ranging from mini ¼ watt up to mini 2 watts. Prices range from $0.045 to $0.22 each in full reel quantities.
Anti-surge resistors utilise high voltage power film
Utilising high voltage power film to achieve high working voltages and high overload voltages, the ASR/ASRM series of anti-surge resistors has been released by Stackpole. The devices withstand repeated high voltage pulses of up to 10KV every 5 seconds with very little resistance shift.
