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 ...

You’ll always be able to buy a 220 Ω, 0805 resistor, but instead of buying two for a penny like you can today, you may only get one in the very near future. As a result, there are rumors of ...

Taiwan-based chip resistor maker Ta-I Technology currently maintains a capacity utilization rate of 70-80%, with prices ...

For example, metal foil resistors are often used because they offer low inductance and capacitance, ensuring that the resistor's performance remains stable even at high frequencies. High-frequency ...

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 ...

When resistors are connected in series, the current through each resistor is the same. In other words, the current is the same at all points in a series circuit. When resistors are connected in ...

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.
