Resistors

Welcome to our Resistors collection – where electrical resistance meets precision to provide the building blocks for circuits and electronic devices. Whether you’re a hobbyist, student, or professional in the field of electronics, our collection features a wide range of resistors designed to meet various specifications and applications.

Key Types of Resistors:

1. Fixed Resistors:
   • Standard Resistors: Fixed resistors come in various forms, including carbon film, metal film, and wirewound resistors. They have a set resistance value and are commonly used in electronic circuits.
2. Variable Resistors (Potentiometers):
   • Adjustable Resistance: Variable resistors, often referred to as potentiometers, allow for manual adjustment of resistance. They are used in applications where the resistance needs to be variable, such as volume controls.
3. Surface Mount Resistors (SMD):
   • Compact Design: Surface mount resistors are designed for printed circuit board (PCB) mounting. They have a compact size and are suitable for applications where space is limited.
4. Thick Film Resistors:
   • Deposited Film: Thick film resistors are created by depositing a thick film of resistive material onto a substrate. They are commonly used in various electronic devices.
5. Thin Film Resistors:
   • Precision Resistance: Thin film resistors provide precise resistance values and are manufactured by depositing a thin film of resistive material onto a ceramic substrate.
6. Wirewound Resistors:
   • Coiled Wire Design: Wirewound resistors have a coil of wire wound around a ceramic core. They are known for their high precision and ability to handle high power.
7. Carbon Film Resistors:
   • Carbon Composition: Carbon film resistors use a carbon film on a ceramic rod as the resistive element. They are widely used in electronic circuits.
8. Metal Film Resistors:
   • Thin Metal Layer: Metal film resistors feature a thin metal film as the resistive element. They offer good stability and low noise, making them suitable for various applications.
9. Power Resistors:
   • High Power Handling: Power resistors are designed to handle higher power levels and are often used in applications where dissipation of significant heat is involved.
10. Precision Resistors:
    • Tight Tolerance: Precision resistors have a tight tolerance, meaning their actual resistance closely matches the specified resistance value. They are used in applications where precision is critical.
11. Network Resistors:
    • Multiple Resistors in One Package: Network resistors consist of multiple resistors packaged together. They are used when several resistances are needed in a compact form.
12. High-Frequency Resistors:
    • Low Inductance: High-frequency resistors are designed to have low inductance, making them suitable for applications involving high-frequency signals.
13. Fusible Resistors:
    • Built-In Fuse Function: Fusible resistors have a built-in fuse function that allows them to open circuit in case of excessive current, providing an added layer of protection.
14. Variable Voltage Resistor (Varistor):
    • Voltage-Dependent: Varistors are voltage-dependent resistors that exhibit a non-linear voltage-current characteristic. They are often used for surge protection.
