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

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 ...

Today, let’s look at the analog signalling used in USB-C – in part, learn more about the fabled 5.1 kΩ resistors and how they work. We’ll also learn about emarkers and the mysterious entity ...

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

We’ll also look at how resistors work in real-world scenarios, showing you how they control the flow of current, limit power, and protect sensitive components from damage due to excess current.

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 ...

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: ...

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.
