Another year, another award. Reaffirming excellence in R&D innovation, this Anti Surge Wire Wound MELF resistor won gold in “most promising product” section. Applied in high surge applications, these MELF resistor solutions use and optimize multiple international patents to overcome traditional limitations. Tailored to absorb harmful surge energy for power capacitors, motor start-up protection, Electric Vehicle, renewable energy storage and much more.
Another year, another innovation recognized. The Anti Surge Wire Wound Metal Electrode Leadless Face ( SWM MELF) resistor solutions series had received last month the Gold selection in the 2025 EE Awards Asia in the “Most Promising Product” category. As the brainchild of resistor revolutionary Firstohm, it is no wonder that these MELF resistors have interwoven multiple international patents to deliver unmatched reliability and protection. Ultimately overcoming traditional limitations of the trade.
In continuation, this is not the first-time products by Firstohm receive a much-deserved praise. In 2024 one of the company’s Anti-Surge Wire Wound MELF resistor solutions received the “best product award” in Asia. Additionally, this solution series offer resistances ranges from 1 ohm to 1.2K ohm, and tolerance values of ±1%, ±2%, and ±5%. Alongside power rating varying from 1W to 4W.
Furthermore, these must-feel MELF resistors are especially tailored to high surge applications. Such as high rush current protection for power capacitors, motor start-up protection, Electric Vehicle or renewable energy storage, among others.
As these MELF resistor solutions are Surface Mounted Devices (SMDs) by design, they are a better fit in terms of heat dissipation, as well in vibration and thermal shock endurance, than the typical chip variety. This is due to their mechanical structuring. Not only that, these resistors meet RoHS requirements and are Anti-sulfur and AEC-Q200 certified.
