Leading Resistor Supplier to Medical Industry

Leading Resistor Supplier to Medical Industry
Riedon is a major supplier to medical electronics equipment manufacturers
and independent design firms engaged in high-reliability medical and
healthcare system design.
Riedon Offers:
We have identified three specific product type which are most commonly
used: high pulse, current sense and high voltage resistors.

A defibrillator must dissipate a large amount of energy in a very short
amount of time. During this process the electrical components undergo a
large amount of stress. In order to protect these components from failure
Riedon understands that a quality component, capable of withstanding a
high energy millisecond surge, must be used. Therefore, Riedon
recommends using our UT series wirewound resistors. The UT series is
capable of withstanding over 1000 Joules.
In addition for the need to absorb a large amount of energy, some resistors
in the medical field must be able to withstand extremely high voltages.
Examples of medical applications that require these types of resistors are
defibrillators and x-ray imaging machines. Resistors from our HTE series
are able to withstand up to 48kVAC of working voltage.
There also exists a demand for accurate current sensing in the medical
industry. For example, most types of hand held devices require current
sensing to monitor battery life. Depending on the application of the current
sensing resistor, Riedon offers a variety of solutions ranging from small
packages to high current applications. Riedon’s CSR series has a minimum
resistance of 0.5 milliohms for maximum efficiency while our MSR-5 is
capable of withstanding up to 30Amps. See the next page for our product
offering fort this market.
