Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Resistors! |
 After
spending a while perusing Paul van Oorschot's
ResistorGuide.com
website, I can say with a high degree of confidence that if there is
anything you need to know about resistors, you will find the answer
there. If it is the fundamentals you're after like power dissipation,
resistance tolerance, stray inductance and capacitance, and how
 Ohm's
law applies, Paul's got you covered. How about package configurations,
color codes and alphanumeric markings? Yep, that's on the website as
well. So also is info on resistor compositions (metal film, metal oxide,
carbon, et al), resistor physical configurations (fixed, variable, thermistor,
magneto resistor, others), and applications (heating, current limiting,
voltage division), and even schematic symbols for each. Oh, and did
I mention all of the instructional videos? It is probably no exaggeration
to say that if you cannot find the information you need about resistors
here, you're not going to find it anywhere.

About RF Cafe
Copyright: 1996 - 2024 Web BSEE - KB3UON RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
