Power resistors are fundamental to proper circuit design – they control current flow and ensure that ICs and transistors receive the correct voltages and currents. Since these amounts differ greatly depending on application and product, resistors come in a variety of construction types and materials.
Review the common constructions and their properties in “Power Resistor Materials and Construction.”
This whitepaper covers:
- Common resistor construction types: wirewound, composition, thick film and thin film
- The specific materials used in each construction
- Typical applications for each resistor type
- General properties like size, resistance tolerance, and inductance
