Why Thin Film is the Better Choice for Precision Chip Resistors
The difference between thin and thick film make this a natural choice. It is recommended to use thin film technology rather than thick film for 0.1% tolerance or better high precision products for better resistance consistency. From the perspective of product...
What is TCR and how is this value calculated?
What is TCR? The resistance value of a resistor changes with temperature and TCR stands for Temperature Coefficient of Resistance, which indicates that when the temperature changes by 1℃, there will be a relative change of resistance value in ppm/℃. The resistance...
