Resistor types

Resistor types

  • Carbon Composition Resistors

    • Usage: Commonly used in general-purpose applications, audio equipment, and low-frequency circuits.

  • Carbon Film Resistors

    • Usage: Used in applications requiring better stability and tolerance than carbon composition resistors, such as in consumer electronics.

  • Metal Film Resistors

    • Usage: Preferred in precision applications due to their low noise and high stability, often found in audio and measurement equipment.

  • Wirewound Resistors

    • Usage: Suitable for high-power applications, such as power supplies and motor controls, due to their ability to handle high currents.

  • Metal Oxide Resistors

    • Usage: Used in high-temperature applications and environments where stability is crucial, such as in automotive electronics.

  • Thick Film Resistors

    • Usage: Commonly used in surface-mount technology (SMT) applications, such as in compact electronic devices.

  • Thin Film Resistors

    • Usage: Used in precision applications, such as in instrumentation and high-frequency circuits, due to their excellent performance characteristics.

  • Variable Resistors (Potentiometers)

    • Usage: Used for adjusting levels in circuits, such as volume controls in audio equipment.

  • Photoresistors (LDR)

    • Usage: Used in light-sensitive applications, such as automatic lighting systems and light meters.

  • Thermistors

    • Usage: Used for temperature sensing and control, commonly found in temperature measurement devices.

  • Varistors

    • Usage: Used for voltage regulation and protection against voltage spikes in circuits.

  • Fusible Resistors

    • Usage: Used in applications where overcurrent protection is needed, as they can act as a fuse in case of excessive current.
