OHMITE Slim-Mox / Ultra-Mox alternatives — cross-references, applications, and supply-ready options

Executive summary. HVC's HVR thick-film high-voltage resistors target the same applications as OHMITE Slim-Mox, Ultra-Mox, and related series, with competitive TCR/VCR, flexible resistance and tolerance, and typically shorter lead times and lower MOQs. This article walks through a CT high-voltage divider case, summarizes OHMITE-to-HVC cross references, and compares supply attributes. For the broader replacement narrative and product hub, see Beyond Replacement: HVC High-Voltage Resistors vs. EBG / OHMITE.

Introduction

In high-voltage electronics, resistor choice directly affects accuracy, drift, safety, and total cost of ownership. Medical imaging, industrial metrology, and power electronics all need dividers and sense elements that stay stable under voltage and temperature.

Below we use one detailed case study (CT tube supply and divider network at 60 kV class), then provide OHMITE cross-reference tables, application snapshots, part numbering, and a supply comparison. The appendix lists 100 OHMITE Slim-Mox style part numbers for quick lookup.

Case Study: High-Voltage Divider Network for Medical Imaging (CT)

Context

A medical OEM builds CT systems where the X-ray tube runs at 60 kV class. The high-voltage divider must keep ratio accuracy over temperature and time; weak TCR/VCR shows up immediately as image artifacts and calibration drift.

Metric HVC HVR (typical) OHMITE-class (typical) Notes
TCR ±15 ppm/°C ±50 ppm/°C (common grade) Tighter drift under thermal cycling
VCR < 0.1 ppm/V < 10 ppm/V (order of magnitude varies by series) Better ratio stability vs. working voltage
Resistance tolerance ±0.5% ~ ±1% (configurable) ±1% ~ ±5% (series-dependent) Match divider ratio budgets
Working voltage (example stack) Designed for system needs (e.g. multi-element or higher-V part) Per-datasheet per part Engineering selects series/size for 60 kV network
Power / package 0.25 W ~ 9 W+ by series (GFP / GXP / BSP) Slim-Mox / Ultra-Mox / ARC2 footprints Mechanical drop-in per cross-reference tables

Key materials and process

  • Ruthenium oxide (RuO₂) thick film, fired at 850 °C; operating range commonly −55 °C to +225 °C (subject to final datasheet).
  • 96% alumina substrate — thermal conductivity about 24–28 W/m·K; controlled surface finish (Ra < 0.4 μm) for predictable HV field distribution.
  • Environmental robustness — suitable for industrial/medical environments; validate against your damp-heat / bias-HAST requirements.

Application Snapshots

CT / medical imaging (60 kV class)

High-voltage dividers for tube monitoring and feedback: prioritize low TCR/VCR and long-term ratio stability.
