Twelve volts was a big deal when domestic manufacturers adopted it in the '50s. Doubling their voltage from 6 made electrical systems comparatively efficient and the increased power ushered in a new ...

Resistors are the most commonly used component in electronics, as their purpose is to create specified values of current and voltage in a circuit. Since there's so much to understand about them, being ...

Designed for use where extremely high stability is required, such as in avionics and test data logging applications, the WA and WB series metal foil resistors use a two wire lead construction for ...

Packaged in a size typical of 1-W ratings, the SC3 Series chip resistors use thick-film copper terminations to dissipate up to 3 W at 70°C. The surface-mount parts feature solder terminations along ...

RoHS, also known as Directive 2002/95/EC, originated in the European Union and restricts the use of specific hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic products (known as EEE). The RoHS ...
