Resistors

Non-inductive resistor

Electronic components; Resistors

A Wire-Wound resistor produced that exhibits low inductance characteristics, perhaps around 1 percent of a normal wirewound resistor.

Through-hole resistor

Electronic components; Resistors

A resistor that uses leads that penetrate the printed wiring board for mounting. For example the RNC90 resistor shown in the side-bar.

Dummy load

Electronic components; Resistors

A resistor used to terminate a line. A Dummy load is normally found as a removable device or component and inserted during test or debug.

Resistance wire

Electronic components; Resistors

A wire made of an alloy (nichrome wire) which has a high resistance per unit length. Resistance wire is used in wirewound resistors.

Lead-screw

Electronic components; Resistors

A variable resistor that is actuated by a lead-screw. Resistors may be wire-wound or non-wirewound and may be single-turn or multi-turn.

Cermet

Electronic components; Resistors

A high temperature metal dielectric composed of both ceramic (cer) and metallic (met) materials used in resistors and potentiometers.

Fusible resistor

Electronic components; Resistors

Acts as a normal resistor under normal conditions but opens under a fault condition. The resistors act as a wire-wound resistor and a fuse, and are used in applications where precise control of ...
