GINO ribbon-wound resistors are a special type of sheet resistors. Small sheet strips or ribbons are used as resistor conductors that are either flat-wound or edge-wound, applied as wave-form spiraled structures or connected in series as individual strips with terminals, by hard-soldering or welding. With this method, high-performance low-resistance resistors are obtained. The advantage of ribbons is the same as that of sheets: large surfaces can be obtained at a comparably low material weight this being decisive for the heat transfer at high continuous loads.
