What are Resistors?

Resistors are electronic components that control the flow of current by providing resistance. They follow Ohm’s Law, which states that current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance. Resistors help regulate current, protect components, and ensure circuits operate properly.

 

Types of Resistors

1.      Chassis Mount Resistors
High-power resistors mounted to a chassis for efficient heat dissipation, used in industrial and power systems.

2.      Chip Resistor - Surface Mount
Compact resistors for automatic PCB placement, ideal for high-density electronics like smartphones and computers.

3.      Resistor Networks, Arrays
Multiple resistors in one package, simplifying designs for precision applications like analog circuits and signal processing.

4.      Resistor Accessories
Includes tools and components like heat sinks and mounting kits, essential for optimal resistor performance.

5.      Specialized Resistors
Tailored for specific needs like high-frequency or high-voltage environments, used in RF circuits and precision systems.

6.      Through Hole Resistors
Durable resistors for manual assembly, commonly used in power electronics and prototyping.

 

What are Resistors used for?

Resistors are used in nearly every electronic device, from household gadgets to industrial systems. They control current, divide voltage, and protect circuits, ensuring the safe and efficient operation of devices like power supplies, amplifiers, computers, and more.
