Active Markets For Resistors
Alternative energy and the testing required are still very active areas with solar and wind power leading the way. Also, electric vehicles and battery technology are very active and are now including commercial power generation. Many industries, such as electric...
Pulse Resistors
A pulse 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 the time. When that circuit "comes...
Wirewound Precision Resistors vs. Film
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...
