Limiting the Current Flow: The Basics of a Wirewound Resistor
A wirewound resistor is a type of resistor that uses a conductive wire wrapped around an insulating core to resist the flow of current in a circuit. This type of resistor is made by wrapping a wire around a core. The wire's length and diameter control the resistance...
Obtaining a Surface Mount Resistor Package for Your Design
Surface-mount resistors are available in various packages, including 0805, 1206, and SOT23. The 0805 and 1206 packages are the most common, and they are typically used for small- to medium-sized designs. The SOT23 package is smaller and can be used for very small...
SMD Resistors – Life Cycle and Factors Affecting Its Lifespan
When discussing the life cycle of an SMD resistor, it's important to consider a few key points. First and foremost, it's important to understand that an SMD resistor is a highly specialized passive component designed for use in various electronic devices and circuits....
The 5 Different Custom Resistors and Their Functions
A resistor is a passive electrical component that is used to create resistance in a circuit. Resistors are important in electronic circuits because they can control the flow of electricity, and can dissipate large amounts of excess energy. They are also the most used...
What are Shunt Resistors – Essential Facts You Should Know
If you've ever wondered how much power is used by an electronic circuit, you're not alone. The most robust component that can measure current draw is called a shunt resistor and it plays a vital role in the proper functioning of many electronic devices. In this...
RIEDON CURRENT SHUNTS FOR SOLAR INDUSTRY
Riedon’s selection of Current Shunts for the Solar Industry range from 5A to 1200A with outputs of either 50mV or 100mV. In Solar Panel installations, for the monitoring of DC current flowing out of the battery, it is important to install a measurement device such as...
Design eines lebensrettenden Wasseraufbereitungssystems
Unsauberes Trinkwasser ist ein ernstes weltweites Problem, insbesondere in Entwicklungsländern, wo schätzungsweise 9000 Menschen täglich an den Folgen von unhygienischem Trinkwasser sterben. Gesponsert von Riedon Inc. Manuell betriebenes Wasserreinigungssystem an...
Redesign Overcomes EOL & Supply Chain Obstacles
Unsafe drinking water is a serious global problem, especially in developing countries where it is estimated that 9,000 people die every day as a result of unsanitary drinking water. New Life International had to redesign its water purifier due to supply...
Riedon Shunts Helping To Solve A Global Tragedy
Riedon’s busbar shunts play an important role in New Life International’s water purification systems. New Life International operates as a non-profit organization. The Organization has been operating for over 50 years providing humanitarian relief by delivering food,...
Smart Shunts in Action
A prominent University in the Mid-West recently approached us looking for a current measurement solution. They are in the process of installing a high voltage DC system in one of their campus buildings. This means that everything in the building will be powered by...
