Packaged assemblies
Individual standard
components can be
packaged in series, par-
allel, or series/parallel
arrays to optimize ener-
gy and power dissipa-
tion in available space.
Custom assembly pack-
ages are available.
*Based on energy absorption in
less than 10 milliseconds. Energy
rating can be substantially greater
for longer pulses. Allowable peak
energy/voltage will depend on the
resistance value.
