About Bourns
Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Riverside, California, Bourns, Inc. has evolved from a precision potentiometer specialist into a diversified electronic component company with over 18,000 standard products. Bourns operates manufacturing facilities in North America, Europe, and Asia, serving customers in 30+ countries.
Bourns excels in three core areas: circuit protection (including SinglFuse, Multifuse PPTC resettable fuses, TVS diodes, and MOVs), magnetics (custom and standard power inductors, coupled inductors, and Ethernet transformers), and sensing (conductive plastic potentiometers, rotary and linear encoders, and tilt sensors). These components are critical in automotive ECU protection, 5G small-cell power delivery, industrial motor drives, and professional audio equipment.
On Octatronics, search Bourns parts by function, package, and electrical rating. Filter by automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, compare inductance or resistance values, and submit RFQs with delivery and traceability requirements.
