Resistors
End cap
Electronic components; Resistors
The connexion between the resistor element itself and the leads that connect it into the circuit.
Photocell
Electronic components; Resistors
A light-controlled variable resistor which has a light-to-dark resistance ratio of 1:1000.
Resistivity
Electronic components; Resistors
The reciprocal of conductivity. The measure of the resistance to current flow of a material.
T-pad
Electronic components; Resistors
A style of attenuator, with a configuration in the shape of the letter which is shown to the right.
Rho
Electronic components; Resistors
Used in the field of electricity and electronics to represent the specific resistance of a substance.
Digital resistor
Electronic components; Resistors
A semiconductor resistor. Digital or semiconductor resistors may also be called digital potentiometers or DACPOTs for digital-to-analog potentiometer as there resistance can be changed by a digital ...
Decawatt package (DPAK)
Electronic components; Resistors
A two or 3-terminal surface mount device (SMD), Two surface mount leads form the resistor while the square body acts as a heat sink. Five and 7-lead DPAKs are also common, as is D2PAK and D3PAK.
