A fusing resistor is designed to protect a circuit against damage as a result of current or voltage overload. The resistor limits current flow and protects the circuit by opening (stopping current flow) when current levels exceeds its fuse characteristic design...

1) HIGH PULSE CHIP Riedon is well known for creating high quality joule rated wirewound resistors capable of handling instantaneous pulses of power. We are now extending this capability to our new PCR series, which is a pulse withstanding chip resistor able to...

Resistors as Heaters Power resistors and resistance heaters share many common design considerations. In both products, good thermal design ensures low thermal resistance between the element and the exterior environment. Both must be rugged and reliable. Power...

What is a surge resistor? A surge resistor is a resistor installed in a circuit to prevent a “surge” when conditions arise where a surge might occur. There are a number instances where energizing a circuit is followed by a surge of current. Like almost all...

Matched resistors are a set of resistors where an additional parameter(s) is given to link the resistors. For example, resistor ‘A’ and resistor ‘B’ have a resistance of 100Ω, a tolerance of 5%, and a TCR of 25 + 5 ppm. You may add additional parameters to this set...

How fun! The Resistor Code Calculator is on RobIves.com, where its creator describes it as “Paper engineering meets electronic engineering”! Rob provides a link to a PDF containing the paper dials for printing, as well as the origami steps to fold it into...
