rotational life
Electronic components; Resistors
The number of revolutions a potentiometer will endure before failure. A Trimmer has a very small rotational life compared to a potentiometer. Rotational life applies to single ...
potentiometer
Electronic components; Resistors
A variable resistor. Designed for frequent changes, a volume control. The output of a potentiometer is a voltage that is variable depending upon the position of the wiper contact. ...
carbon film resistor
Electronic components; Resistors
A composition resistor. A type of resistor produced using carbon as the resistive material. A film resistor uses a film of carbon (or other material) which is sprayed or coated ...
fusible resistor
Electronic components; Resistors
Acts as a normal resistor under normal conditions but opens under a fault condition. The resistors act as a wire-wound resistor and a fuse, and are used in applications where ...
established reliability
Electronic components; Resistors
A term used in U.S. military specifications and standards to indicate failure rates for resistors. However commercial grade, military grade, and military established reliability ...
array
Electronic components; Resistors
A resistor array is a group of resistors contained within a single package, but normally isolated from one another. The term array and network are interchangeable but in many ...
power rating
Electronic components; Resistors
The maximum power the device can dissipate with out damage at some defined ambient temperature (Still-Air). Power ratings are provided with a continuous full-load condition. ...
