What’s your favorite value of resistor? 1K? 10K? They’re all fine, but when you need nearly no resistance at all, nothing beats the good old zero-ohm resistor. Wait a minute! Resistors are ...
In DC voltage applications, the RC snubber network is typically wired across the relay contacts, whereas in standard AC ...
Ballast Resistor Guide - The electrical system is one of the more complex systems and the more misunderstood, especially by Mopar owners. - Mopar Muscle Magazine ...
The remote variable resistor functions as a voltage-controlled resistor whose resistance changes based on an applied voltage.
Check out the resistor color code reference cards I just whipped up. I was inspired by the PCB versions that Octopart has been crowdfunding this week. Those didn’t have the information I woul… ...
Figure 7 Resistor data sheets hint at cube root aging for resistors. (Source: State of the Art, Inc.) Summarizing the data presented in the SOTA ‘180502TN1206Life.pdf’ 10,000 hours lot set: Thin film ...
If our example resistor ended in gold (orange, white, black, gold), its 39 Ohms value could be five percent higher or lower. For a possible minimum of 37.05 or a maximum of 40.95.
From “F.M.” (April 2015): “I may have an answer as to why your 1157 R26-CBT bulb was so dim.The 6 ohm load resistor in parallel with the LED is probably causing the voltage to drop too low. That LED ...
TI's RES60A-Q1 eliminates the need for lengthy discrete resistor chains with a single-chip, 1.4-kV, resistor divider that achieves 0.1% initial ratiometric precision with a maximum of 0.2% ...
