Your diligent dedication & loyal commitment to our stellar manufacturing team is the reason the quality of our products remains unsurpassed. Your hard work & dedication to our goal of maintaining cost-effective manufacturing excellence & efficiency does not go without notice.

Our vast success can also be attributed to over 75 years of experience & research, learning which manufacturing processes are most successful and constantly looking for ways to integrate new technology and materials to perfect our techniques while being reluctant to abandon time proven methods, ensuring that our product line will continue to out preform the competition. Thanks to a quality staff driven by a strong integral customer base and a desire to build & design the best electrical components, PRC is looking ahead to 75 more years of success.

Precision Resistor Company's mission stands on traditions of manufacturing competitively-priced, high-quality, 100% USA produced custom precision fixed wire wound resistors, wire wound sensors and wire wound shunts for critical applications while continuing our commitment to provide superb service & support while serving the needs of our customers who utilize any of our products.

We would like to thank each & every one of our customers who have allowed Precision Resistor to not only survive, but flourish in a highly competitive industry.

RFT uses a high temperature brazing process that yields the lowest possible thermal resistance and allows for higher temperature operation. Higher temperature processing also ensures greater reliability and overall performance during thermal cycling. RFT devices are capable of withstanding a 1 1/2 to 3 lbs pull test. The device will withstand substantial forces applied to the lead due to different rates of contraction and expansion of the lead during temperature variations.

Since RFT devices are brazed, the customer need not have to worry about leads coming off during soldering operations.

Power Dissipation

RFT devices dissipate more watts per square inch than any others on the market. RFT can supply devices with up to 500 watts power handling capability for frequency ranges from DC to 6 GHz. RFT devices can handle more RF power than a soldered device.

Power Derating

RFT devices offer a significant advantage over the competition in power handling capability due to superior power derating capability. RFT devices can be power de-rated to flange temperatures up to 250 degree C (see figure 1). This high temperature capability provides the user with improved system reliability and a wider margin of performance under abnormal operating conditions.

RFT devices are also capable of withstanding much higher temperature for short period of time without damage.
