About Chip Resistors

Chip resistors are passive resistors with a form factor of an integrated circuit (IC) chip. Typically, they are manufactured using thin-film technology. There are two basic configurations for chip resistors: single resistor and resistor chip array. Single chip resistors are standard, passive resistors with a single resistance value. Resistor chip arrays contain several resistors in a single package. For both configurations, performance specifications include resistance range, tolerance, temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR), power rating, operating direct current (DC) voltage, current rating and operating resistors. For resistor chip arrays, the number of resistors in the package is also an important parameter to consider.

Products & Services Related to Chip Resistors

Digital Potentiometers

Digital potentiometers are three-terminal resistors with an adjustable center connection. To set the output resistance, a digital signal is sent through an electrical interface.

Potentiometers, Rheostats and Trimmers

Potentiometers, rheostats and trimmers are three-terminal resistors that are used to measure or divide voltages, and to protect or control circuits.

Power Resistors

Power resistors are used in power generation and distribution, high-voltage applications, control systems, and other power system applications. They include load banks, grounding resistors, and dynamic braking resistors.

Resistor, Capacitor Networks

Resistor, capacitor networks (RC networks) are integrated circuits (ICs) that contain resistor-capacitor arrays in a single chip.

Resistors

Resistors are electrical components that oppose the flow of either direct or alternating current. They are used to protect, operate, or control circuits.

Resistors and Potentiometers

Resistors and potentiometers are passive electronic components that oppose the flow of either alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC).

Shunt Resistors

Shunts resistors are connected in parallel with an instrument or component to divert electrical current. They provide an alternate path for current in case of failure.
