Resistors

Decade values

Electronic components; Resistors

The available values for a resistor series that are common for each increase in decade. For example a 15 ohm resistor would change to 150, 1500 and so on with each decade increase. A standard 10 to ...

Metal film resistor

Electronic components; Resistors

A resistor constructed by applying a thin film of metal onto a substrate of ceramic or glass. The metal is the resistive element. The substrate or the metal (or metal alloy) is not always provided in ...

Nonlinear resistor

Electronic components; Resistors

A resistor who's value changes based on temperature (Thermistor) or voltage (Varistor). A resistor who's value does not change in a linear fashion. In normal cases a resistor's value will only change ...

Pulse duration

Electronic components; Resistors

In some cases the power dissipation of a resistor is provided as power dissipation vs pulse duration. Normally the pulse duration curve is provided to show the peak dissipation of a resistor over 100 ...
