The shape and size of surface mount resistors are standardized. The JEDEC standard is most commonly used by manufacturers nowadays. Given the following Imperial and Metric codes, determine the length ...

Check out the resistor color code reference cards I just whipped up. I was inspired by the PCB versions that Octopart has been crowdfunding this week. Those didn’t have the information I would ...

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 ...

[Gerry Sweeney] was tired of messing around with resistors while prototyping his projects, so he decided he wanted a resistor decade box. The problem is they are typically big and rather expensive ...

Vishay created precision resistors with 0.05% tolerance and a temperature coefficient of ±2.5ppm/°C. They are in the FRFS0402 Series, based on ‘Z1 Foil’ precision foil resistor elements by Vishay ...

The HCS Series from Stackpole now includes an 0.2 mΩ resistance value in the 3920 and 5930 chip sizes. The HCS Series from Stackpole now includes an 0.2 mΩ resistance value in the 3920 and 5930 chip ...
