Cross Reference for TO Package Power Resistors

What is a TO Package? The increase of power capabilities for transistor technology lead to the development of device packages capable of dissipating much greater amounts of heat. These specialized packages are referred to as transistor outline, or TO package. The...

Precision or Power?

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 limits and power dissipation...

Bleeder Resistor

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...
