compensated-impurity resistor

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A resistor consisting of a diffused semiconductor material to which are added controlled amounts of n- or ptype dopants (impurities).

drum resistor

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A resistor consisting of a hollow cylinder of resistive material. Such a resistor can be cooled by circulating air or liquid through the cylinder.

A resistor consisting of a resistive material deposited on a metal disk; or a disk of resistive material. In the latter, electrodes are plated on the faces of the disk, one or more of which are held ...

composition resistor

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A resistor made from a mixture of materials, usually finely powdered carbon and a binder.

carbon resistor

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A resistor made from carbon, graphite, or some composition that contains carbon.

bleeder

Engineering; Electronic engineering
