ohmmeter
Electronic components; Resistors
A meter used to measure resistance. In almost all cases an ohm meter is just one of a number of functions found in a multi-meter. Modern ohm meters are completely digital (lower ...
rheostat
Electronic components; Resistors
A variable resistor. A three terminal potentiometer which only uses two terminals (Wiper and one terminal). A variable resistor used for the purpose of adjusting the current in a ...
center tap trimmer
Electronic components; Resistors
A trimmer (variable resistor) with four terminals. The fourth terminal is fixed to the mid-point of the tap (non-movable). The other three terminals comprise the wiper and the two ...
open element
Electronic components; Resistors
A component or adjustable resistor which has its resistive element exposed. An open-element resistor supported by a frame but not totally surrounded by an enclosure. The graphic ...
taper
Electronic components; Resistors
References how a potentiometer changes value as the wiper is moved across its resistive element. There are two general types of taper used with potentiometers: a linear taper and ...
stand-off resistor
Electronic components; Resistors
A resistor mounting method that rises a high-power through hole resistor off the printed wiring board (PWB) surface so that the resistor does not impart its heat onto the board ...
chip attenuator
Electronic components; Resistors
A Surface mount device that provide either 'Pi' attenuator pads, or 'T' attenuator pads, (PI-Pads, T-Pads). PI-Pads have a minimum of four leads, two for the common lead (ground) ...
