Resistors
hermetically sealed resistor
Electronic components; Resistors
Sealed so that a resistor is gas-tight to a specific rate, normally less than 1 x 10-8 cc/sec of helium. A hermetically sealed resistor is one in which the resistance element is contained within a ...
linear taper
Electronic components; Resistors
An adjustable resistor that changes value in a linear manner. This term is used to describe a resistor that changes from a low to high value (or the reverse) increases or decreasing in a linear ...
variable attenuator
Electronic components; Resistors
A term that could be applied to a passive variable resistor, having a mechanical wiper which is moved across a resistive element. However the term is more often used to refer to an active component, ...
fixed film resistor
Electronic components; Resistors
Same as a film resistor but contains a network of resistors.
resistor pi network
Electronic components; Resistors
A resistor network in the form of a Pi or delta configuration.
bands
Electronic components; Resistors
As in resistor color code bands. Refer to the color code definition.
dual in-line (DIP) package
Electronic components; Resistors
A DIP package is used to hold a resistor array or resistor network.
