What’s your favorite value of resistor? 1K? 10K? They’re all fine, but when you need nearly no resistance at all, nothing beats the good old zero-ohm resistor. Wait a minute! Resistors are supposed to ...

Resistors may look small, but they play a critical role in keeping electronics safe and functional. This video explains what ...

Increasing current levels in automotive and industrial electronics are driving demand for compact shunt resistors that can ...

This video explains how resistors function and how Ohm’s Law defines the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in electronic circuits. Resistors are passive components used to control ...

I was recently asked a few questions on SMT chip resistors. Let’s first discuss what is the thickness of a “thick film” versus a “thin film”. A traditional dimensional 2 dividing line has been ~5μm ...

Resistors are a type of electrical component which are widely used in electrical circuits. In fact, they are one of the most widely used and most important components of an electrical circuit. In ...

Resistor: A passive chunk of material that resists the flow of electrical current. A terminal is connected to each end you’re done. What could be simpler? It turns out it’s not so simple at all.

Resistors aren’t resistors – at high frequencies, that is. Many designers don’t realize that parasitic elements in real components affect their values. When frequencies reach hundreds of megahertz, ...

As our economy continues to drive the emergence of energy-efficient systems such as hybrid and electric vehicles, composite aircraft, and wind turbines, the need for power resistors has expanded.

How do you know if a resistor is correctly restricting the flow of electricity? Using a multimeter is an obvious answer. However, there is more to it than meets the eye. This article will explain what ...
