Application
Wire Wound Resistors
Wire wound resistors are used in a variety of electronic applications, especially where high precision and stability are required. We supply precise special alloys for your wirewound resistors.

Precise special alloys for exact current measurement
Wire wound resistors consist of a resistance wire wound around an insulating (ceramic) core. This wire is made from special alloys selected for their specific electrophysical properties.

Stable resistance values in demanding applications
Commonly used alloys are Isaohm® (NiCr alloy), Isotan® (CuNi alloy) and Manganin® (CuMnNi alloy). Isabellenhütte's portfolio also includes other resistance values that are precisely tailored to the needs of our customers.
These materials offer very low temperature coefficients and stable electrical conductivity due to their compositions, special melting processes and heat treatments.
This ensures that the resistance value achieves a consistency that cannot be achieved with other material combinations in the event of temperature fluctuations. The high maximum load resistance and long-term stability make them the ideal choice for precision applications such as measuring instruments, calibration devices and high-performance circuits.
