dielectric strength
Electronic components; Resistors
The ultimate breakdown voltage of the dielectric or insulation of the resistor when the voltage is applied between the case and all terminals tied together.
chip resistor
Electronic components; Resistors
A surface mount resistor, or surface mount device (SMD). A single resistor in a surface mount package that uses the ends of the component body as terminals.
sip resistor
Electronic components; Resistors
A resistor group contained within a single in-line package (SIP). One of a number of possible package styles used to hold resistor networks or resistor arrays.
ambient temperature
Electronic components; Resistors
The temperature of the air surrounding an object. The temperature used as ambient temperature in data sheets is 250C, which is different than 'room temperature'.
linear potentiometer
Electronic components; Resistors
A variable resistor using an adjustment that moves up and back in a straight line, as opposed to a rotational potentiometer in which the adjustment is is turned.
tapped resistor
Electronic components; Resistors
A wire-wound, fixed resistor having one or more additional terminals along its length, generally for voltage-divider applications.
equivalent resistance
Electronic components; Resistors
A resistance that represents the total ohmic values of a circuit component or group of circuit components. Usually drawn as a single resistor in a simplified circuit.
