element14 Introduces the Versatile Bourns Power Resistors Series across Asia Pacific
Encompassing solution to meet the growing demand for dependable and high quality power resistors in the region
Bangalore, Karnataka, India, Wednesday, March 16, 2011 -- (Business Wire India) -- element14 (formerly Farnell), the industry's first fusion of commerce and community supporting millions of engineers and purchasing professionals worldwide, today announced the addition of Bourns Power Resistor PWR221T-30 series to its inventory portfolio - the broadest range of electronic design centric products stocked in Asia Pacific.
Power resistors are staple components for all electrical design engineers as they prevent overheating and damage by controlling the voltage and current in an electrical circuit for all electronics from LEDs to industrial equipment. The Bourns Power Resistor PWR221T-30 series' high power rating, low inductance and ability to handle large amounts of power make it an encompassing solution for tasks such as current limiting, capacitor discharge or current measurement circuits in power supplies for telecom and industrial applications. The power resistors are also ideal components in electronics such as air conditioning equipment, medical equipment, wind power generation machines and high power microscopes.
Marc Grange, Head of Product Management, element14, Asia Pacific said, "There is an increased demand for power resistors in Asia as applications with improved reliability are much sought after. As the Asia market moves towards applications that relate to infrastructure with improved circuit protection needs, engineers need to develop sustainable designs to cater to these changes. element14 is committed to offer the latest power resistors such as the Bourns Power Resistor PWR221T-30 series, as Bourns is one of the leading manufacturers and innovators in circuit protection that drives solutions to help electronic design engineers today."
Professionals in the electronic design and manufacturing industries will be able to enjoy an unrivalled purchase and support experience through element14's unique offering. Customers can purchase over 130,000 products with ease and flexibility via multiple channels with no minimum quantity or value, and next day delivery in most cities in Asia Pacific. 24/7 customer service telephone support and 24/5 online technical support are also available at http://in.element14.com. In addition, customers can also visit and engage with the element14 online community to research, consult industry experts, and collaborate with design engineers and electronics enthusiasts around the globe.
BOURNS - Power Resistor PWR221T-30 Series
The Bourns PWR221T-30 series is a TO-220 style power resistor that is used in a variety of different configurations of power supplies. The main functions are to absorb the inrush current caused by the switching action of a power device such as a MOSFET or IGBT, or measure and control the current used in the power supply as a shunt. The incorporation of the state-of-the-art alumina ceramic technology provides several distinct advantages over the conventional power resistors.
More about these power resistors:
-- The ceramic backplane allows the power resistors to disperse heat more effectively when placed against a heat sink;
-- The characteristic thick film allows these power resistors to handle a large surge of power, providing added protection to electronic devices;
-- Low inductance due to its advanced ceramic technology;
-- 'Through-hole' design to dissipate heat proficiently, which is a prerequisite for components that will be experiencing a high volume of electricity;
-- The TO-220 package enables these power resistors to be installed in electronics that utilize high power. The design also makes these power resistors compact in size, allowing electronic design engineers to save space and streamline their designs;
-- High power rating of 30W at 25 degree Celsius that allows it to withstand the heating effect that occurs when a large current passes through. Highly suitable for applications which require the capacity to handle an increased amount of voltage.
