The RNS series ultraminiature through-hole axial-leaded film resistor uses a proprietary metal-film resistive element that can handle 0.5-, 1-, and 2-W power ratings in packages that are two sizes ...

Measuring high current (10 to 100 A) through a power MOSFET or IGBT typically requires a large resistor, which generates excess power losses (10 to approximately 30 W). International Rectifier’s ...

As [Electronoobs] points out, everything has resistance. So, how hard can it be to make a high-power resistor? In the video below, he examines a commercial power resistor and how to make your own ...

Although there are several ways to sense current flowing from a source such as a battery, or to a load such as a motor, the current-sense resistor is among the most widely used approaches. There are ...
