Wirewound Resistors vs. Film Resistors

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...

Power Wirewound Resistors

When modern circuits need power resistors, the choice is often wirewound. Today’s wire-wound resistors are rugged and reliable. They are small and compatible with modern PC-board and surface mount manufacturing systems. And, new technology resistors still fall...
