Resistors may look small, but they play a critical role in keeping electronics safe and functional. This video explains what ...

There are times when you might want an odd-value resistor. Rather than run out to the store to buy a 3,140 Ω resistor, you can get there with a good ohmmeter and a willingness to solder things in ...

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 ...

Resistors are tiny components found in almost every electronic device, but their role is crucial. This video explains how ...

Resistors are a type of electrical component which are widely used in electrical circuits. In fact, they are one of the most widely used and most important components of an electrical circuit. In ...

Resistors aren’t resistors – at high frequencies, that is. Many designers don’t realize that parasitic elements in real components affect their values. When frequencies reach hundreds of megahertz, ...

Resistors that tolerate pulse or surge are required for pre-charge resistors, ESD protection, and lightning protection. There are a large number of pertinent specifications for different use cases and ...

I admit I just walked by microchip maker Rohm‘s booth at this year’s CEATEC 2011, but the Japanese company actually showcased something very interesting: it developed the world’s smallest chip ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Medical devices are leaving the confines of hospitals and serving the growing community-based and home-based healthcare markets. Growth ...

Infrastructure projects like the Tokyo Gate Bridge are now turning to LED lighting because of its economical and environmental advantages. But these devices still need the right current-limiting ...
