Description

Product Introduction

Inrush current limiting resistor applications in SMPS and industrial power systems often use SQM cement resistors for surge protection and power control. SQM vertical ceramic cement resistors are widely used in SMPS and industrial power supply systems for inrush current limiting, DC bus pre-charging, and capacitor discharge protection.

During power-on, high surge current can damage rectifiers, MOSFETs, capacitors, and other critical power components. An effective inrush current limiting resistor helps reduce startup stress, improve system reliability, and extend equipment service life.

Designed for industrial environments, our SQM cement resistors provide stable resistance performance, reliable overload capability, and efficient heat dissipation for continuous operation.

Common Problems with Low-Quality Cement Resistors

In many industrial power systems, resistor failure is one of the hidden causes of power supply breakdown and maintenance issues.

Low-quality cement resistors on the market may suffer from:

• Overstated power rating
• Excessive heat generation under continuous load
• Uneven resistance material distribution
• Resistance drift after long-term operation
• Reduced reliability in surge conditions
• Increased maintenance and replacement cost

A failed resistor may eventually lead to power supply shutdown, unstable startup behavior, or damage to expensive electronic components.
