Surface-mounted resistors are resistors that contain numerical figures in codes similar to the ones used on axial lead-type resistors. These resistors use SMT technology to decrease the proportions of ...

How to set up fixturing according to manufacturer guidelines, establishing a capable test system. How to ensure close control of assembly processes like solder-paste ...

How and why sub-milliohm chips warrant consideration as a separate class of component. Strategies for smart component selection, layout design, inspection and soldering process control. While ...

One of the standard methods used to measure load current is to insert a low-value resistor in the load line and sense the voltage across it, Figure 1, followed by an analog or digital implementation ...

ARCOL Resistors introduced the availability of a new range of SMD Shunt Resistors as an alternative to the MSR through-hole style. There are two resistors in the CRS family, offering the advantage of ...

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.

Bourns has created a surface-mount thin-film resistor series with AEC-Q200 compliance for automotive use. Model CRT-A resistors are available with tolerance of ±0.1, ±0.25, ±0.5 or ±1%, and ...
