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 ...

With surface-mount components quickly becoming the norm, even for homebrew hardware, the resistor color-code can sometimes feel a bit old-hat. However, anybody who has ever tried to identify a ...

Some resistor, capacitor networks are used to suppress transmission-line effects on high speed data lines in order to improve system performance and reduce the cost of passive components. Other RC ...

Consequently, the construction (size, shape, and material type) of a resistor determines its resistance value. Four bands are placed on most resistors. When four bands are present: • The first band ...

Kyocera AVX's newest addition to its CR series of high-power chip resistors is said to be the industry’s highest power 0603 resistor.

To calculate the resistance of the series resistor required, we need to look at the current and voltage values recommended by the LED manufacturer. Suppose a manufacturer recommends a maximum ...

Taiwan-based chip resistor maker Ta-I Technology currently maintains a capacity utilization rate of 70-80%, with prices remaining stable thanks to a more balanced supply and demand. Save my User ...

Moving the position of the slider on this resistor, changes the length of wire in the circuit which changes the resistance. A variable resistor is used in some dimmer switches and volume controls.
