Surface Mount Resistors (SMDs) are usually made as very small, rectangular-shaped metal oxide film resistors. A thick layer of metal oxide resistance is deposited as it contains a ceramic substrate ...

Here’s a neat trick for your next 3D-printer build or retrofit: a Z-axis sensor using a DIY strain gauge made from SMD resistors. We’re betting it could have plenty of other applications, too.

How to treat sub-milliohm chips as a separate class of component. Strategies to avoid pitfalls during component selection and PCB layout design. Uncover opportunities ...

High-power SMD ceramic-based chip resistors are susceptible to solder joint failure, cracking, and pulling the solder lands off the PCB. High power SMD ceramic-based chip resistors are susceptible to ...

RNCE0402 75V 63mW RNCE0603 100V 100mW RNCE0805 150V 125mW RNCE1206 200V 250mW. (Power rating is at 70°C. For lower resistances, √(PxR) will reduce max voltage.) “Many thin film resistors fail to ...
