decawatt package (DPAK)
Electronic components; Resistors
A two or 3-terminal surface mount device (SMD), Two surface mount leads form the resistor while the square body acts as a heat sink. Five and 7-lead DPAKs are also common, as is ...
insulation resistance
Electronic components; Resistors
The dc resistance measured between all terminals connected together and the case, exterior insulation, or external hardware. The resistance between a terminal and some point on ...
aluminum housed resistor
Electronic components; Resistors
A resistor encased in an aluminum housing normally having a flat base for chassis or heat sink mounting. These power resistors may either be derated by temperature, or by derated ...
encapsulation
Electronic components; Resistors
A plastic protective coating applied to a component. The plastic determines the color, finish and hardness of the finished part. Note that the type of encapsulation may affect the ...
digital resistor
Electronic components; Resistors
A semiconductor resistor. Digital or semiconductor resistors may also be called digital potentiometers or DACPOTs for digital-to-analog potentiometer as there resistance can be ...
ratio tolerance
Electronic components; Resistors
For a resistor divider or network, this is the tolerance of the ratio and the relationship of each resistor to the others. It is often practical to specify tight ratio tolerances ...
metal clad resistor
Electronic components; Resistors
A resistor encased by aluminum or some other metal alloy. Normally metal clad resistors perform to higher voltage or power ratings. The style shown below is also referred to as ...
