Temperature Coefficient of Resistance refers to how the resistance value varies due to changes in temperature. One of a foil resistor’s most important properties is Low Temperature Coefficient of Resistance, or TCR. This is especially true for applications like...

Choosing a resistor for pulse applications can be tricky business. What is the magnitude of the pulse? How long does it last? How often does it repeat? What is an acceptable resistance range? And then there are the multiple resistor technologies to consider. A typical...

Precision shunts are very precise resistors inserted into a circuit in order to measure the current flowing through that circuit. The shunt does this by providing a very small voltage drop across its resistance proportional to the current flowing through the shunt. ...

Maintaining a constant temperature around precision resistors is integral to maintaining the stability of a circuit. Even small fluctuations in the temperature of a resistor can cause errors in a circuit due to noise. The relationship between temperature and...
