The resistor color code is a long-standing standard in both the electronics and electrical industries which indicates the value of resistance of a resistor. Ohm’s Law is the foundation of measuring ...

Vishay’s Power Metal Strip meter shunt resistors WSMS2906 and WSBS8518 feature a proprietary processing technique that produces extremely low resistance values and a high power to resistor size ratio.

When available fixed-gain values match design requirements, a PGA (programmable-gain-amplifier) IC offers a drop-in choice, but what does a designer do when a suitable PGA is unavailable? Before the ...

This resistor with bands of red, violet, yellow, and gold has a value of 270,000 ohms (270kΩ) with a tolerance of ±5%. \( \begin{eqnarray*}\text{R}_\text{t} &=& \frac{3.9 \times 6.8}{3.9 + 6.8} \\ &=& ...

A hard drive crash, and some other happenings that aren’t entirely clear to us, led [Devbisme] to put in a parts order. As he wanted to make the most of his shipping costs, he decided to fill out the ...

The CSS/CSSH current-sensing resistors offer values down to 0.25 milliohms in a standard surface-mounted chip package. This resistor series is rated for full-power operation at up to 100°C, and has an ...
