In the manufacturing process of a carbon film resistor (CFR), carbon is deposited on a magnetic rod or a ceramic tube, and a layer of carbon film crystals is formed on the surface. By adjusting the ...

Until recently, the limiting factor in high-temperature electronics has been the degradation in semiconductor properties of the active components used. However, with recent advances in ...

Resistor: A passive chunk of material that resists the flow of electrical current. A terminal is connected to each end you’re done. What could be simpler? It turns out it’s not so simple at all.

I was recently asked a few questions on SMT chip resistors. Let’s first discuss what is the thickness of a “thick film” versus a “thin film”. A traditional dimensional 2 dividing line has been ~5μm ...

Many electronic circuits are exposed to high pulse loads. In some applications, these occur regularly, such as in pulse-width-modulated (PWM) devices. In others, pulses are incidental, but also ...
