Amtrans AMRG Carbon Film Resistors

Since the demise of the beloved Riken Ohm carbon film resistors back in 2005/6, with their distinctive blue body, colour code bands and gold plated copper leadouts there hasn't been a serious contender to rival them. Until now...

Amtrans, from Japan, used to be the distributor for Riken resistors. In 2005 they bought a resistor factory, whether this was the original Riken premises they wouldn`t confirm. Soon came the AMRG carbon film resistor, which they claim is better than the Riken as they have employed cutting edge technologies for production. Indeed they aren't far from the truth, these are truly amazing.

They are available in 0.75 watts and 2 watts, from 10R to 1.5M. The full E24 range is available for the 0.75W and the E12 range for the 2Ws. They have a 1% tolerance, non-magnetic, they are encapsulated in a black anodized aluminium case, potted in a highly thermally conductive resin, brass end caps, and gold-plated oxygen-free copper leadouts. A lot to boast we believe and at an incredible price.
