A resistor is a fundamental component in electronic circuits, used to limit the flow of electric current. It can be classified into various types based on different characteristics and application scenarios.
Fixed Resistors:
Fixed resistors have predetermined resistance values during manufacturing and cannot be adjusted or varied. Common brands and models include:
Carbon Film Resistors: Examples include CRCW080510K0FKEA, CRCW08050000Z0EA (Vishay Dale series).
Metal Film Resistors: Examples include RYB10K0000AC00, RYB100K0000AC00 (Omron RYB series).
Variable Resistors:
Variable resistor devices have resistance values that can be adjusted through external means or electrical signals. Common types include:
Potentiometers: Used to adjust voltage or current in a circuit. Examples include single-turn and multi-turn potentiometers.
Rheostats: Used to adjust the output voltage of power supplies.
Specialty Resistors:
Resistor devices with special functions include:
Photoresistors: Resistance varies with light intensity. Commonly used in light-sensitive circuits and optoelectronic sensors.
Thermistors: Resistance varies with temperature. Commonly used in temperature sensors and temperature control applications.
