Resistors, Chip
(71 Companies)

Carbon composition resistors consist of mixtures of granulated carbon and ceramic binder cylindrical resistive element with embedded wire lead-outs, or metal end caps, to which the lead-out wires are attached.
A resistor placed in a current path to allow the current to be measured. The voltage across the sense resistor is proportional to the current that is being measured and an amplifier produces a voltage or current that drives the measurement.
Metallized resistors are constructed where the resistance element is a thin film of metal (e.g. tungsten, nickel, etc.) deposited on a glass or ceramic substrate. A non-metallized film might be of carbon deposits.
Flame retardant resistors are specially constructed to reduce and prevent the spread of flames or fire–instead will generally emit smoke and red heat at excessive ambient temperatures or power dissipations.
A resistor which has two terminal pairs. Generally used in precision current sensing measurements to cancel out ground lead effects and contact resistance in the circuit.
General term for resistors which are designed to work into the RF and microwave frequency range. Construction of these components are usually of a thin film technology and packaged in chip or SMT design.
Defined as resistors whose value exceeds 22 megohms. Used in instrumentation, high voltage power supplies, X-ray devices, industrial, automotive and military applications, etc.
Defined as resistors which are rated at temperatures exceeding +125°C. Used in geophysical, industrial, automotive and military applications.
Defined as resistors which can exceed a voltage drop of 500 volts or more. Used in power supplies, X-ray devices, pulse applications, transient suppression, electrostatics, etc.
A resistor which has been encased in molded plastic or ceramic insulation. Generally provides high thermal conductivity to ensure cool operation and longer life.
High power resistors which are designed to dissipate their heat into a mass of metal that is an integral part of the resistor. Also can be used with an external heat sink metal mounting base that absorbs the heat.
Resistors which exhibit a low change in resistance from their original specified value for a unit change in temperature.
A resistor in which the resistive element is an extremely thin layer of metal alloy, vacuum deposited on a substrate.
Resistance element is constructed with a special foil alloy several micrometers thick. Foil resistors have the best precision and stability and also low temperature coefficient of resistance.
A fixed resistor in which the resistance element is a thin film of metal deposited on the surface of a glass or ceramic substrate.
Type of resistor in which the material deposited on the substrate is tin oxide–which provides good stability.
Refers to resistors that experience a decrease in electrical resistance when their temperature is raised. The higher the coefficient, the greater a decrease in electrical resistance for a given temperature increase.
Non-Inductive resistors are constructed with little or no self-inductance or reactive effects at high frequencies. Usually these types of resistors are of film or foil construction.
Refers to resistors that experience an increase in electrical resistance when their temperature is raised. The higher the coefficient, the greater an increase in electrical resistance for a given temperature increase.
Relative term applied to resistors designed to operate at high power dissipation levels–usually greater than a few watts. Resistors may require heat sink or external cooling for very high dissipations.
Resistors which are designed to offer a precise resistance value, usually under ±1% of nominal, but may be as precise as ±0.005% with very low temperature coefficient of resistance and high stability. Construction is commonly of a foil or film technology.
Resistors that are used to reduce parasitic oscillations or unwanted RF signals that may occur in the output stage of high power amplifiers. Also found in high tension leads of ignition systems to reduce RFI or electrical noise.
Discrete miniature resistors which are packaged without leads and fastened directly to foil patterns of a PCB. Generally found in high frequency design and where space considerations are at a premium.
Specially designed resistors handling various overloads within a circuit. Withstands transient high voltage impulses and has high heat dissipation, e.g. in noise suppression of engine ignition, overvoltage protection and crowbar discharge applications.
A wire-wound fixed resistor having one or more additional terminals along its length, generally for voltage divider or adjustment applications.
Type of resistor with resistance varying according to its temperature. Widely used as inrush current limiters, temperature sensors, self-resetting overcurrent protectors, and self-regulating heating elements.
Resistors in which the resistance element is a length of high-resistance wire or ribbon wound on an insulating form. Generally found where high-temperature stability, power-handling capability, or low resistance values are required.
Zero-ohm resistor is a wire link used to connect traces on a PCB that is packaged in the same format as a resistor. Similar to jumpers, these components may be packaged like cylindrical resistors, or SMT resistors.
