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 ...

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.

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 ...

This video explains the role of resistors in electronic circuits and how Ohm’s Law defines the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance. Resistors are essential components that limit ...

What analog designer hasn't had to derive a nonstandard resistor value by using series/parallel combinations of standard resistor values? In efforts to avoid a production trimpot tweak, we can use 0.1 ...

Infrastructure projects like the Tokyo Gate Bridge are now turning to LED lighting because of its economical and environmental advantages. But these devices still need the right current-limiting ...

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 ...
