TDK's chip varistors in the AVR series, which are made with our own materials, feature high resistance to repeated surges....

This guide compares resistor technologies that sit outside the mainstream thick-film chip and conventional thin-film resistor families: metal-element, metal-oxide film,...

Thick-film chip resistors are the mainstream general-purpose resistor technology for surface-mount electronics. They combine low cost, broad resistance ranges, compact...

MELF (Metal Electrode Leadless Face) resistors are cylindrical surface‑mount resistors that combine the reliability and precision of classic film resistors...

This guide summarizes design‑relevant aspects of thin film, metal film and metal foil resistors, with emphasis on selection, derating and...

Wirewound resistors are type of passive components in which metal wires are used to reduce or restrict the flow of...

Resistors are passive components that convert electrical energy into heat while providing a precise impedance to current flow. They exist...

In many applications reliability, stability and long lifetime of resistors are of critical importance. Lets learn something about resistors’ noise...

Ceramic disc PTC components are universally used for overcurrent circuit protection purposes. The principle of their function is relatively simple....
