Type PCN resistors are manufactured from carbon and
ceramic granules into a solid bulk composition enabling
pulse capabilities unmatched by wirewound or film resistors.
Marking is alpha-numeric or color band. Flexible manufactur-
ing process enables customized rod or disk sizes up to 5”
diameter and 18” long. Typical applications include snubber
circuits, lightning surge, grounding resistors, RFI suppres-
sion, dummy loads, etc. Depending on the application, PCN
resistors can often satisfy requirements of UL217, 268, 294,
497A, 508, 913, 943, 991, 1459, & 1971; IEEE587, C37.90, &
Bellcore TR357 & 1089; EN61000-4, 60601, & 50082.
