Non-inductive Wirewound Resistors
Improves Inductance for High Frequency Applications
Preview
Token Electronics has introduced a non-inductive version KNPN Series of conformal coated, leaded wire-wound
resistors.
The KNPN series offers the expected performance of a wire wound resistor with the added characteristic of
vastly improved inductance, making it suitable for high-switching applications.
Wirewound technology has long been known as a leading technology for power resistor needs though it is
inherently inductive. Known as Ayrton Perry winding, a non-inductively wound wirewound has one winding in
one direction and one in the other direction.
By using a non-inductively wound version this greatly reduces the inductance of any given resistor size and value
combination; however, it does not completely eliminate the inductance.
This non-inductive winding is available in all standard KNPN sizes from 0.5 watts up to 6 watts with options
1%, 2% and 5% tolerance. The KNPN series is RoHS compliant and also can be supplied with radial, goalpost or
lancet preformed leads.
To address your need for technical and economic success in a timely manner, our custom solutions are available.

Application Notes
Wire-wound Resistors Application Notes:
● When being used in AC circuits, some wirewound structures give inductance ingredients or parasitic
capacity, so they may cause unusual phenomena such as oscillations etc. Quorum deviations of other com-
ponents should be carefully taken into account for use.
● Application and Placement: Wire wound resistors use different gauges of wire as resistance elements.
Sometimes the gauge is extremely thin (finer than a strand of human hair) and very susceptible to breakage
in environments containing salts, ash, dust and corrosives. Avoid utilization in such environments.
● Do not install in dusty areas because the accumulation will cause shorts and poor conductance.
