Organic resistors are manufactured from a resin-bonded body of ceramic material, with conductive particles distributed throughout the matrix, to produce a resistor that is 100% active and non-inductive. The organic bonded resistors offer a wider resistance range for those applications where only medium steady state heat dissipation is required, or where high energy pulses are of relatively short duration, as in automotive noise suppression or lightning arrestors.
