The difference between thin and thick film make this a natural choice. It is recommended to use thin film technology rather than thick film for 0.1% tolerance or better high precision products for better resistance consistency. From the perspective of product...

Bleeder Resistor Bleeder Resistors are used as a safety feature to discharge capacitors to safe voltage levels after power is removed. A bleed resistor may be either connected permanently for cost effectiveness and high reliability or switched across a capacitor for...

The subject of power supplies is potentially very broad and the application of resistors in power supplies is quite diverse. Here we will focus on power supply units (PSUs) designed for use in electronic appliances that nominally require fixed DC outputs ranging from...

In wirewound resistors, another selection factor is the temperature characteristic of the wire. The resistance of all materials changes as their temperature changes. If the temperature is lowered, resistance (typically) declines. In fact, if cooled sufficiently, the...
