Welcome to the Riedon Blog. Here you will find articles and resources related to all types of resistors and shunts.
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...
