Welcome to the Riedon Blog. Here you will find articles and resources related to all types of resistors and shunts.
Understanding Resistors and Temperature
A resistor's Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR) tells how much its value changes as its temperature changes. It is usually expressed in ppm/°C (parts per million per degree Centigrade) units. What does that really mean? Let's use an example: Riedon's 50 ohm...
Resistors : Power Supply Application
The subject of power supplies is potentially very broad and the application of resistors in power supplies is quite diverse. Here we will focus on power supply units (PSUs) designed for use in electronic appliances that nominally require fixed DC outputs ranging from...
Ultra-Low Ohm, Current Sense, Through-Hole Resistors Now Stocked At Digikey
The MSR series from Riedon is an ultra-low ohm, bare metal element, through-hole resistor with power rating to 5 W The MSR series from Riedon uses a bare metal element in an all-welded construction for through-hole circuit board mounting to provide resistance values...
High-Voltage Thick Film Resistors now at Digikey
The HTE series are high-voltage thick film resistors with tolerances of ±1% to ±10% Riedon’s HTE series uses thick film technology in a non-inductive cylindrical construction for through-hole mounting. They provide resistance values from 1 kΩ to 100 MΩ, while also...
Compensation Resistors for Strain Gage Transducers
Many transducers use strain gage sensors to convert pressure or force to an electrical output. In these designs, gages are connected as a Wheatstone bridge resulting in an accurate and rugged transducer that can operate in extreme environments. To achieve accuracy,...
High Temperature Resistors
CHR and HVS chip resistors from Riedon deliver high resistance values and high temperature performance. The CHR series of non-magnetic chip resistor provides resistance values from 1 Ohm to 10MΩ with power ratings from 0.05W to 1.5W, depending on package size (from...
Resistor For Weighing Scale
Whatever your are weighing, whether it’s gems or pharmaceuticals, scales must be accurate day in and day out. Some are in harsh environments while others are in laboratories. But regardless of the application, accuracy and consistency are the prime targets. For nearly...
