derating
Electronic components; Resistors
The process of reducing the rated wattage of a resistor based on the possible maximum operating temperature.
tab mounted resistor
Electronic components; Resistors
A mounting method used by some high power resistors. The resistor uses tabs as opposed to leads or metal pads.
photoresistor
Electronic components; Resistors
Another name for a light dependent resistor (LDR). A resistor whose resistance changes based on the light intensity.
thermal noise
Electronic components; Resistors
The noise caused by the increase of current carries in a resistor due a thermal increase in the device.
johnson noise
Electronic components; Resistors
The noise caused by the increase of current carries in a resistor due a thermal increase in the device.
mounting bracket
Electronic components; Resistors
A small bracket or clip used to mount or secure high-power resistors. A metal bracket would also be used as a heat sink.
resistor
Electronic components; Resistors
The electrical component that offers resistance to the flow of current. It may be a coil of fine wire or a composition rod..
