Odessa, Florida · Established 1974
100% U.S. Manufactured
Every part number in our catalog has been put through an extensive test program — power burn-in, VSWR network analysis, thermal shock — before entering production.
Precision-engineered RF/microwave terminations delivering consistent performance, excellent return loss, and reliable power handling across chip, flange, and coaxial configurations.
Built for thermal stability and high efficiency across RF, microwave, power, and heater applications. Available in carbon-rod, thick-film disc, surface-mount, and base-mounted configurations.
Precision signal reduction with low VSWR and dependable power handling for modern RF and microwave systems. Offered in T-pad, coaxial, surface-mount, and flange configurations.
Data centers. AI compute clusters. Cooling validation rigs. The infrastructure powering the next generation of technology demands reliable, controllable heat sources — and Component General's high-power resistors have been the answer since 1974.
Resistance values from 10 Ω to 1000 Ω let engineers dial in exact power dissipation for any thermal load requirement — from milliwatt calibration offsets to kilowatt load simulation.
Single-element ratings from 10 W to 1000 W. Array configurations scale further. Built for the continuous duty cycles demanded by 24/7 data-center and AI infrastructure.
Beryllium Oxide ceramic combines exceptional thermal conductivity with electrical isolation — critical for heater elements that must transfer heat efficiently while maintaining circuit integrity.
Every part manufactured in Odessa, FL. Full supply-chain traceability and MIL-SPEC documentation available. No foreign-sourced risk in your thermal management BOM.
Non-standard resistance values, custom footprints, special connector configurations. Our in-house machine shop turns custom heater specs from prototype to production.
Power burn-in, thermal shock, high-temperature exposure, and load-life testing performed before shipment. Heater elements arrive verified for long-term continuous operation.
Compact BeO thick-film chip resistors from 40 W to 1000 W per element. Designed for array-based, surface-mount heater configurations where thermal uniformity and scalable heat flux are critical. Ideal for immersion-cooled AI training systems and high-density compute.
| CGI Part Number | Power Rating | Resistance Range | Type | Std. Tolerance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CCR-40 / CPR-40 | 40 W | 10–1000 Ω | Resistor | ±5/±2% |
| CCR-230-1 / CPR-230-1 | 150 W | 10–1000 Ω | Resistor | ±5/±2% |
| CCR-375-1B / CPR-375-1B | 330 W | 10–1000 Ω | Resistor | ±5/±2% |
| CCR-500-1 / CPR-500-1 | 500 W | 10–1000 Ω | Resistor | ±5/±2% |
| CCR-1000-1 / CPR-1000-1 | 1000 W | 10–1000 Ω | Resistor | ±5/±2% |
Power ratings based on infinite/ideal heat sink at 100°C. CPT = Chip Termination, CPR = Chip Resistor, CCR = Chip with Cover Resistor. Tab & cover variants available for higher sustained wattage. Other resistance values available on request.
Cooling infrastructure must be validated before live compute is installed. CGI high-power resistors replicate the heat signature of server racks at full load — allowing operators to commission CRAC units, liquid cooling loops, and airflow management before a single GPU spins up.
GPU and ASIC burn-in boards use precision resistors to thermally stress-cycle boards under controlled conditions, screening out infant-mortality failures before shipment. BeO substrate ensures uniform, stable heat generation across thousands of burn-in hours.
Thermal calibration of temperature sensors, thermal cameras, and cooling measurement systems requires stable, repeatable heat sources. CGI resistors deliver the tight-tolerance, stable dissipation that ATE thermal references demand.
Labs developing single-phase and two-phase immersion cooling fluids need controllable heat sources that behave like real silicon. CGI chip resistors in custom array configurations allow researchers to replicate die-level heat flux in a controlled experimental environment.
High-power load banks built from CGI resistors provide the resistive loads needed to qualify server PSUs, UPS systems, and PDUs under worst-case thermal conditions — an essential step for hyperscaler supply-chain qualification.
The same MIL-SPEC pedigree that qualifies these parts for airborne radar and EW platforms qualifies them for the most demanding commercial thermal validation programs. Full documentation packages available.
