Bournes' Riedon™ BR/BRT, BRS, and UWP series brake resistors feature rated powers up to 500W and a maximum temperature range of +275°C.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. – November 18, 2024 – Bourns, a leading manufacturer of electronic components for power, protection and sensing solutions, today announced three new families of Riedon™ high pulse brake resistors. Designed for high energy pulse applications, the BR/BRT, BRS and UWP series brake resistors offer superior power ratings up to 500W and extended temperature ranges up to +275°C, making them excellent energy dissipation solutions for motor brake circuits and capacitor charge/discharge circuits. Additionally, these new brake resistors are available in multiple packages and non-inductive winding options to allow developers to select the best solution for their specific design.

The BR/BRT and BRS series are aluminum metal clad wire wound resistors and the UWP series is a ceramic wire wound resistor. These resistors are designed to be a reliable and robust solution for dissipating large energy pulses and help meet critical current regulation requirements in AC-DC and DC-DC power converters, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), capacitor charge and discharge circuits, industrial power supplies, inverters and motor drives.

Bournes' Riedon™ BR/BRT, BRS and UWP series high pulse brake resistors are RoHS compliant and available now.
