Delve into the fascinating world of resistors, a key component in nearly every electronic device we use today. Resistors are crucial for controlling the flow of electrical current in a circuit, ...

Perhaps it’s a side-effect of getting older, but it seems like reading the color bands on blue metal-film resistors is harder than it was on the old brown carbon ones. So often the multimeter has to ...

How a small change in lead arrangement transforms a through-hole component into a surface-mount version. The role of safety resistors in power-meter, appliance, and automotive applications. Why these ...

Fully lead-free requirements for thick-film chip resistors will inevitably increase in the next few years. For manufacturers looking to make the switch, there are options for general-purpose types, ...
