Welcome to the Riedon Blog. Here you will find articles and resources related to all types of resistors and shunts.
Wirewound Resistors vs. Film Resistors
Wirewound resistors have been around for a long time. They enjoy a long life because they have some very important features not duplicated by new technology products. If you must optimize circuit designs where precision is important, you should understand those...

A Resistor Primer Series: INDUCTANCE
There is another quantity that is similar to resistance. It is called "reactance." Like resistance, we measure reactance in ohms, and it follows the rule of Ohms Law. Reactance only occurs in electrical or electronic circuits if the current flow is changing rapidly....
A Resistor Primer Series: TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT
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...
Resistor Primer: CONDUCTORS AND INSULATORS
All materials are either conductors or insulators; a material will either conduct electrical current, or impede its flow. Not all conductors are equally capable of supporting current flow. Copper is a better conductor than nickel. Silver is a better conductor than...
