Here’s a neat trick for your next 3D-printer build or retrofit: a Z-axis sensor using a DIY strain gauge made from SMD resistors. We’re betting it could have plenty of other applications, too.

Surface-mounted resistors are resistors that contain numerical figures in codes similar to the ones used on axial lead-type resistors. These resistors use SMT technology to decrease the proportions of ...

ARCOL Resistors introduced the availability of a new range of SMD Shunt Resistors as an alternative to the MSR through-hole style. There are two resistors in the CRS family, offering the advantage of ...

How and why sub-milliohm chips warrant consideration as a separate class of component. Strategies for smart component selection, layout design, inspection and soldering process control. While ...

High-power SMD ceramic-based chip resistors are susceptible to solder joint failure, cracking, and pulling the solder lands off the PCB. High power SMD ceramic-based chip resistors are susceptible to ...

Bourns has created a surface-mount thin-film resistor series with AEC-Q200 compliance for automotive use. Model CRT-A resistors are available with tolerance of ±0.1, ±0.25, ±0.5 or ±1%, and ...

RNCE0402 75V 63mW RNCE0603 100V 100mW RNCE0805 150V 125mW RNCE1206 200V 250mW. (Power rating is at 70°C. For lower resistances, √(PxR) will reduce max voltage.) “Many thin film resistors fail to ...

The shape and size of surface mount resistors are standardized. The JEDEC standard is most commonly used by manufacturers nowadays. Given the following Imperial and Metric codes, determine the length ...

The PMT design follows the ISA-PLAN principle: a copper substrate carries a foil made of the company's proprietary Noventin resistive material. Its high specific resistance improves pulse load ...
