Surface Mount Device (SMD) resistors, also called chip resistors, are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronic circuits. With the shift from through-hole technology (THT) to surface-mount technology (SMT), SMD resistors have become the industry standard for compact, high-density, and automated PCB assembly. This article presents an in-depth, technical explanation of SMD […]
A thick film resistor is one of the most widely used fixed resistors in modern electronic circuits. It is manufactured by depositing a resistive paste (thick film) onto a ceramic substrate and then firing it at high temperature to form a stable resistive layer. Due to its low cost, mechanical robustness, and compatibility with mass […]
A metal film resistor is a precision fixed resistor widely used in electronic circuits where high accuracy, stability, and low noise are required. Compared to carbon composition and carbon film resistors, metal film resistors offer tighter tolerance, lower temperature coefficient, and superior long-term reliability. They are extensively used in analog circuits, instrumentation, audio equipment, medical […]
