Sensor and electrical components for the global market
Uncompromising quality for over 70 years:
Marlan and Rosemary Bourns founded Bourns Inc. in 1947 in Altadena, in the US state of California. With the introduction of the Trimpot® line in 1952 - the world's first patented potentiometer - the company set a benchmark for quality, lasting value, and innovation.
The combination of traditional values, experience, and a commitment to developing innovative solutions laid the foundation for sustainable quality.
From Riverside (California) to the whole world
Bourns Inc. produces and distributes technical components in the field of sensor and electrical technology. From resistors and resistor networks to inductors, potentiometers & trimmers, overvoltage protection technologies and sensors: The approximately 5,300 employees worldwide produce electronic components for numerous market segments.
Bourns Inc.'s sensor and electronic components are used in a wide variety of applications - from the automotive industry to smartphones, telecommunications equipment, computers and medical equipment.
The complexity of electronic components will continue to increase in the future due to integrated active and passive functions. With this in mind, high-performance system solutions are needed.

Inductors
The US-American company offers inductors with fixed or adjustable inductance values.
The coils, single-phase transformers and baluns from Bourns Inc. are used in the fields of signal transmission and processing and frequency-determined circuits, as well as for chokes and transformers in the power supply of electrical devices.
Top products from Bourns
Conductive plastic potentiometer
Conductive plastic potentiometer (= Poti) consists of a non-conductive carrier, a resistive material, and a movable sliding contact. Advantages are long product life, increased temperature stability and improved linearity.

SMD-Cermet Trim Potentiometer
SMD-Cermet trim potentiometers are used in precision work to minimize emerging operating deviations. The component must be adjusted with a tool (e.g., screwdriver) before installation and is then soldered to the PCB. It is particularly resistant to external and internal temperature influences.
To the products
TVS diode
TVS diodes are used to protect the smallest installed components: e.g., digital and hybrid circuits or microprocessors and data lines. Advantages are the fast response (within a few nanoseconds) to disturbance currents and the safe dissipation of energy. In addition, the maintenance of a constant clamping voltage is guaranteed.
