Messing around with Arduino can lead to some fun projects — like simple electronic games, lighting or audio manipulation, or even gesture controls for other devices. However, you'll need the right ...

This resistor with bands of red, violet, yellow, and gold has a value of 270,000 ohms (270kΩ) with a tolerance of ±5%. \( \begin{eqnarray*}\text{R}_\text{t ...

The resistor color code is a long-standing standard in both the electronics and electrical industries which indicates the value of resistance of a resistor. Ohm’s Law is the foundation of measuring ...

One of the first things you learn in electronics is how to identify a resistor’s value. Through-hole resistors have color codes, and that’s generally where beginners begin. But why are they marked ...

I once worked with an engineer that often checked his resistors with a multimeter before use. I just assumed that he was just being careful (certainly more careful than I…). Then one day, he asked me ...

To calculate the resistance of the series resistor required, we need to look at the current and voltage values recommended by the LED manufacturer. Suppose a manufacturer recommends a maximum voltage ...

Providing an alternative to thin film arrays in applications requiring lower performance, Vishay Intertechnology introduced the industry's first thick film chip resistor arrays to offer multiple ...
