Precision wirewound resistors go up to 6 MΩ

November 6, 2025 By Redding Traiger Leave a Comment

Bourns, Inc. launched its Riedon Precision Wirewound Resistor Series by Bourns. Engineered for high accuracy and long-term stability, these latest resistors offer a broad resistance range of up to 6 megohms (MΩ) with ultra-low resistance tolerances (±0.005 percent). This rugged, high-precision resistor series is housed in multiple axial, radial, and square package sizes and is available in a variety of lead configurations, giving designers additional flexibility.

Bourns new wirewound resistors feature non-inductive multi-Pi cores, protective encapsulation technology, and an exceedingly low standard temperature coefficient of ±2 ppm/°C. These features help minimize inductance and noise while maintaining stability and efficiency even under high heat and harsh electrical conditions. In addition, the series is 100 percent acceptance tested. An expansive variety of applications can benefit from these new precision wirewound resistors, including measurement equipment, bridge circuits, load cells and strain gauges, imaging systems, current sensing equipment, and high-frequency circuit designs.

The Riedon Precision Wirewound Resistor Series by Bourns is available now and is RoHS* compliant.
