There are times when you might want an odd-value resistor. Rather than run out to the store to buy a 3,140 Ω resistor, you can get there with a good ohmmeter and a willingness to solder things in ...

Resistors may look small, but they play a critical role in keeping electronics safe and functional. This video explains what ...

Here’s a neat trick for your next 3D-printer build or retrofit: a Z-axis sensor using a DIY strain gauge made from SMD resistors. We’re betting it could have plenty of other applications, too.

Resistors are a type of electrical component which are widely used in electrical circuits. In fact, they are one of the most widely used and most important components of an electrical circuit. In ...

Resistors aren’t resistors – at high frequencies, that is. Many designers don’t realize that parasitic elements in real components affect their values. When frequencies reach hundreds of megahertz, ...

This video breaks down how resistors work and why they’re one of the most essential components in every electronic device. From smartphones to power supplies, resistors help control the flow of ...

Analog designers often need matched resistors for their circuits [1]. The best solution is to buy integrated resistor networks [2], but what can you do if the parts vendors do not offer the desired ...

As our economy continues to drive the emergence of energy-efficient systems such as hybrid and electric vehicles, composite aircraft, and wind turbines, the need for power resistors has expanded.

How do you know if a resistor is correctly restricting the flow of electricity? Using a multimeter is an obvious answer. However, there is more to it than meets the eye. This article will explain what ...

Yageo, a major Taiwanese manufacturer of passive components, has informed customers it will raise prices on specific chip resistors (R-Chip) products starting February 1, citing escalating costs of ...
