For design engineers facing thermal cycling issues with power components in high-temperature environments, resistor manufacturer IRC has developed a “capped” version of its cylindrical power resistor ...
The drive towards smaller and smaller devices demands smaller and smaller precision resistors handling greater and greater power densities. Usually this means that surface-mount chip resistors should ...
Do you know what a MELF is (and, yes, it is safe for work to Google it)? What’s the difference between a QFP, and LCC, and a PLCC package? Do you need a 0603 resistor or a 1206 resistor? If you are an ...
Many factors affect the long-term reliability of ceramic-substrate-based chip resistors. Among those are changes in resistance due to soldering, temperature changes, or even the expected shifts in ...
