Typical resistors parameters and their meanings:

Resistor Paramaters • Impulse strength is the maximum allowed short-duration (impulse) electric energy that the resistor can withstand without exceeding the limiting temperature. • Limiting voltage, also referred to as dielectric strength, is the maximum allowable...

Precision or Power?

Precision and Power Resistors Resistors are often designated as precision or power. Precision resistors are designed for applications where tight resistance tolerance and stability are primary considerations, and they generally have restricted operating temperature...
