Bourns, Inc. announced a new thick film resistor series that delivers high heat tolerance in a compact TO-227 package.

Summary Almost every application for resistors in power supply design has different specification priorities and performance requirements. These include resistors that need to be able to handle high ...

WDBR Series planar thick-film resistors carry surge power ratings up to 7 kW and feature a steel substrate that provides direct transfer of thermal energy to an external heat ...

As high-power LED lighting enters new markets, the need to correctly and safely specify the right type of resistor is becoming more important.

The advantage is that by using four resistors, the power dissipation capability has also increased by a factor of four, and the voltage withstand doubles. This is a useful trick when you want to keep ...

When resistors are connected in parallel, they have the same potential difference across them. In other words, any components in parallel have the same potential difference across them.

Wire-wound resistors are often used when you need resistance with a higher power dissipation than a common film or composition resistor.

Vishay’s new GBS Series Vitreous Resistors with Corrugated Ribbon can now be sourced in Europe through TTI, Inc., a world-leading specialist distributor of electronic components. The GBS Series of ...

MALVERN, PA — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) has expanded its D2TO35 series of surface-mount thick film power resistors with the introduction of the D2TO35H. The new Automotive Grade ...

If power dissipation is a problem, or if the application needs more current, you can parallel two or more drivers.
