Wire wound resistors can roughly be classified in two types: power and precision. They can be modified for use in current and temperature sensors and potentiometers. These versatile resistors can be used in a wide range of applications. Wire wound resistors exist for very high power applications. The range varies from 0.5 watts till more than 1000 watts. Power wirewound resistors can be divided in types according to the coating type. Silicone resins are used for the lowest dissipation levels. They are compact resistors that c...

Film Resistors mainly include thin film resistors, thick film resistors, metal film resistors and metal oxide film resistor. Thin and thick film resistors are the most common types in the market. They are characterized by a resistive layer on a ceramic base. Although their appearance might be very similar, their properties and manufacturing process are very different. The naming originates from the different layer thicknesses. Thin film has a thickness in the order of 0.1 micrometer or smaller, while thick film is around thou...

Current sensing products, the majority are surface mount, are the favorites among resistive products. These resistors, often referred to as shunt resistors, are used to monitor the current in a circuit and translate the amount of current in that circuit into a voltage that can be easily measured and monitored. Such resistors have very low resistance vales, typically less than 10 milliohms and often lower. When designing power supplies and regulated battery circuits, the aim is to eliminate the risk of short circuits or over c...

In general, resistors consume heat. By doing this, they can be used to stop or slow down a mechanical system. This type of resistor is called a dynamic braking resistor and the process is called dynamic braking. When kinetic energy is transformed back into electrical energy you can slow down or decelerate an electric motor. This energy is dissipated by using a power resistor. The brake resistors usually have a high power rating and relatively low ohmic values. A suitable solution is the Wirewound Resistor. Usually, they have ...

Non-inductive resistors are used in home entertainment, appliances, high voltage, high-switching, welders, power supplies, power tools, current sensing and consumer applications. DC circuits dont have to worry about the inductance of a resistor since there isnt any fluctuation in the current to create the altering magnetic fields, while when it comes to AC circuit, we need to take it into account. The induction of a resistor is a very important item to keep in mind when building a circuit, especially if you are dealing with s...

A Kelvin configuration resistor features four leads or terminations. These four terminal resistors enable current to be applied through two opposite leads and a sensing voltage to be measured across the other two leads. The Kelvin configuration effectively eliminates the resistance and temperature coefficient of the leads. The Kelvin connection can also simplify board design by incorporating all terminals for the sensing circuit into one part. A Kelvin connection is essential for accurate current sensing and simplified board ...

Current sensing products are established industry favorites among resistive products. A majority of current sense resistors are surface mount, as is true with most passive products. Current sense resistors are often referred to as shunt resistors. Shunt resistors are used to monitor the amount of current that is flowing through a circuit. Such resistors have very low resistance values, typically less than10 milli-ohms (0.010 ohms) and often lower. Microhm milliohm shunt resistor lineup cover size 0603 to 8420 for BMS and more...
