Resistors
through-hole resistor
Electronic components; Resistors
A resistor that uses leads that penetrate the printed wiring board for mounting. For example the RNC90 resistor shown in the side-bar.
lead-screw
Electronic components; Resistors
A variable resistor that is actuated by a lead-screw. Resistors may be wire-wound or non-wirewound and may be single-turn or multi-turn.
dummy load
Electronic components; Resistors
A resistor used to terminate a line. A Dummy load is normally found as a removable device or component and inserted during test or debug.
nonlinear variable resistor
Electronic components; Resistors
A resistor that does not change value in a linear fashion. An audio or logarithmic taper. A shunt resistor applied to a variable resistor.
water-cooled resistor
Electronic components; Resistors
A high wattage resistor that uses water to cool the device. The water flows via pipes within the resistor to draw heat away from the device.
ferrule-terminal resistor
Electronic components; Resistors
A Tubular resistor. Ferrule resistors use a tab at either end of the tub for mounting, and may also be referred to as tab-terminal resistors.
lead-style
Electronic components; Resistors
The lead type that a resistor uses which includes ferrule, lug terminal, solder tab, and quick connect. The manner in which the resistor connects to the circuit.
