Most common, modern resistors are made out of either ac arbon, metal, or metaloxide film. Resistors can be constructed out of a variety of materials. Blade, ato bleeder, braking bleeder, capacitor high voltage shunt, battery shunt, meter temperature sensitive water cooled. But it appears to me that kiwame resistors are actually just koa sprseries carbon film resistors. Carbon low wattage resistors carbon low wattage resistors typically come in 18 watts to 2 watts in power handling. For high ohmic values and especially when used as say anode or screen loads,higher wattage and voltage ratings are beneficial.

The resistors are coated with layers of tan color lacquer. Ultra high precision, zfoil audio resistor minimizes noise. In these resistors, a thin film of conductive though still resistive material is wrapped in a helix around and covered by an insulating material. In some cases noninductive resistors emitter and non. Types of resistors the two main characteristics of a resistor are its resistance, r, in ohms and its power rating, p, in watts. Title sku price add to cart form weight stock res5k005 2r2 5w kiwame resistor. Kiwame carbon film resistors are famous for their low noise floor and natural sound. Ultra high precision, zfoil audio resistor minimizes. After a helical groove has been cut in the resistive layer, tinned connecting leads of electrolytic copper are welded to the endcaps. The cfr series carbon film resistors are manufactured by coating a homogeneous film of pure carbon on high grade ceramic rods. Kiwame resistors are from japan and characterized by lower noise than metal film resistors and a more natural sound.
The resistance material is carbon film with coated silicon and finished in green. As resistors are used in wide applications there values like power rating,r value, tolerance etc vary. In mobile electronics we typically use resistors to reduce the output of a device. Some controls especially volume and tone controls may become noisy or scratchysounding, indicating a dirty or wornout resistance element. They are also very compact given their wattage rating. Wattage ratings are not typically labeled on these. A circuit is always made up of some wire, so there will be some resistance there.
Resistors by their nature are always used to reduce the signal being sent to a device. Low noise resistors,metal oxide,metal film and metal glaze are the first choice for low level circuits. Aug 21, 2010 low noise resistors,metal oxide,metal film and metal glaze are the first choice for low level circuits. Kiwame resistors are made in japan and characterized by lower noise than metal film resistors and a more natural sound.
Find the resistor you need by visiting our website today. Resistors there is always some resistance in every circuit. The least noisy are bulk metals and metal alloys foil, wire. Resistors are employed for many purposes such as electric heaters,telephone equipments, electric and electronic circuit elements and in current limiting devices.
