Electro Technik Industries has recently expanded its resistor selection to include thick-film resistors, made by HYMEG, which is now an ETI subsidiary. The new line includes:

HYMEG Precision Thick Film Axial Lead Resistors
HYMEG High Voltage Thick Film Axial Lead Resistors
HYMEG Precision High Voltage Plate Resistors & Dividers
HYMEG High Power Non-Inductive Resistors.

These new products share a common denominator -- they're all built using thick-film technology. The economical products are widely used where high resistance values are called for in relatively small-size packages, and where lower precision and higher temperature coefficients can be tolerated in the application. In effect, the thick-film manufacturing process used for HYMEG products results in lots of high-voltage/power handling capability for the real estate occupied, and a big bang for the buck. 

Another ETI subsidiary, TEPRO, manufactures precision wirewound resistors, chip resistors, disk resistors, Military RL-42 and other precision metal film resistors, and thin-film networks. Precision is the emphasis here, most often called for in lower voltage/power applications.

Choosing the most cost-effective resistor for an application tends to involve more than a component-to-component comparison of performance vs. size vs. cost. For example, it could cost less to use the resistor with superior overall performance specifications, because the need for compensating circuitry (and the cost of the associated components plus their assembly) may be eliminated. Furthermore, cost savings may also be achieved by concentrating precision in the resistors rather than in the active devices, because active devices have greater cost per marginal performance improvement than the resistors do.1

Our advice -- just tell one of our application engineers what you're trying to do and a bit about the circuit (727-536-7861). We now have a comprehensive selection of resistor types to choose from, so you can be sure to make the perfect choice.
