Carbon Film Resistors

Carbon film resistors are designed for both high temperature and high voltage applications. They are actually made in a vacuum by breaking down hydrocarbon gases at high temperatures. This in turn forms a carbon deposit on the substrate. The process...

Wirewound Resistors

Wirewound resistors have been around for many years and are one of the most common types of passive components. They are made by winding a metal wire around a ceramic core. The ends of the wire are then connected to an end cap and the resistor is...
