time constant
Electronic components; Resistors
The time constant is the time it would take for the potential difference across the capacitor (in an RC circuit) to increase to the same level as the applied voltage. The ...
kelvin terminal
Electronic components; Resistors
A four terminal fixed resistor having a very low resistance (milliohm range). Although a kelvin terminal has four leads they are connector together internally to form two pairs. ...
resistance
Electronic components; Resistors
The opposition a device or material offers to the flow of current. The effect of resistance is to raise the temperature of the material or device carrying the current. A circuit ...
isolation resistor
Electronic components; Resistors
A resistor used to isolate one part of a circuit from another. A resistor used in a circuit to isolate a capacitive load from a driver. A resistor used to limit current as in ...
adjustable resistor
Electronic components; Resistors
A variable resistor. A resistor whose overall ohmic value is fixed, but also has one or more movable terminals which are designed to be set and fixed to any value within the range ...
resistor network
Electronic components; Resistors
A group of resistor residing in a signal package which may or may not be connected together. There are many applications where resistor networks perform well, but normally high ...
flameproof resistor
Electronic components; Resistors
A resistor constructed of materials that will not ignite while under an electrical over-load. A flame-proof resistor may be constructed of a porcelain core with an element made of ...
