Wire wound resistors are overlooked by many as being old tech, unlike the whizz bang laser, I mean frikin’ laser it must be cool. They tend to have the lowest Johnson–Nyquist noise of any ...

The DLA states, “alloys of 3% lead, by mass, have shown to inhibit the growth of tin whiskers.” For low-ohmic precision ...

Vishay’s CHA series of thin-film chip resistors, available in the 0402 size, provide stable high frequency performance in ...

And thus the zero-ohm resistor was born. We have a whole spool of them in our closet in 1206, the largest SMD size that we use, in order to be able to sneak two or three tracks underneath, even on ...

Resistors, however, never have the same properties. Thus, the ratio of the resistors changes with the ambient temperature, power dissipation, and aging at different film temperatures. The effect of ...

The remote variable resistor functions as a voltage-controlled resistor whose resistance changes based on an applied voltage.

Wirewound resistors are constructed with metallic wire wrapped around a cylindrical substrate, usually fiberglass or a ceramic rod. Fiberglass is a lower-cost material, but it provides little ...

The 30 ohm resistor would increase this to 5,030 ohms. Individual variances in the piezos will dominate that. Adding in a piezo to our last calculation gives: ...

Chip resistors with this kind of resistive element can achieve resistance values up to 50 Gigohms, and can maintain precise tolerances down to 0.5% and TCRs as low as 25 ppm.

If I were to test our fictitious 200 K ohm resistor with this particular meter, I would set the scale at 200 K ohms. However, it’s purely a coincidence that my meter has a setting for 200 K ohms.

The application utilized SMD wraparound chip resistors. A set of resistors with values of 40 Ω, 80 Ω, 160 Ω, 320 Ω, 640 Ω, 1.28 kΩ, 2.56 kΩ, or 5.12 kΩ was able to withstand the HMP (high melting ...
