	Antisurge Resistors, Fusible, Wirewound, Temperature Sensing Resistor
		Pacific Resistor Co. has been manufacturing high quality wirewound resistors for Commercial and Military application for over 47 years.
		The confidence level that Pacific Resistor has earned from these companies is such that most do not perform inspection on Pacific Resistor's products.
		Pacific Resistor's products are on board whether they're antisurge, fusible, wirewound, surface mount, precision, load, power, temperature or current sensing resistors.

	Resistor - MSN Encarta
		Resistors are usually placed in electric circuits, which are devices formed when current moves through an electrical conductor (a material that allows the current to flow without much resistance, such as copper wire) and when the conductor makes a complete loop.
		Resistors are often color coded by three or four color bands that indicate the specific value of resistance.
		For example, the heating element in a household cooking range is a resistor, as is the tungsten filament in a common incandescent lamp.

	Resistor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Resistors are built into integrated circuits as part of the fabrication process, using the semiconductor as the resistor.
		Resistors use specific values, which are determined by their tolerance.
		Resistors are often marked with their tolerance (maximum expected variation from the marked resistance).

		Resistors are the most commonly used component in electronics and their purpose is to create specified values of current and voltage in a circuit.
		In place of a single resistor with specified dissipation, another one with the same resistance and higher rating may be used, but its larger dimensions increase the space taken on a printed circuit board as well as the added cost.

		Some other things to consider when designing resistors are that because of skin depth, the RF sheet resistance might be higher than the DC sheet resistance (but usually it is very close), and the tolerance of the resistor due to edge definition and other things might force you to laser trim it.
		In this case you want the resistor material to be a fraction of a skin depth, while the gold to be at least three skin depths.
		Thermistors are resistors that are built specifically to exploit the temperature coefficient, and are often used as temperature control elements.

		Resistors are normally designed and operated so that, with varying levels of current, variations of their resistance values are negligible (see resistance).
		They are available in several common forms: wirewound resistors are formed from windings of fine wire; film resistors, commonly found in consumer electronic devices, use lengths of carbon or metal film deposited on a resistive base; and carbon-composition resistors use a bonded mass of carbon powder with a phenolic binder.
		Resistors absorb power from a circuit and convert it into heat; they are normally rated for the maximum amount of power that they can safely handle.

	Identificação de Resistor
		The 4 band resistor has a gold tolerance, or 5%, meaning that the true value of the resistor could be 5% more or less than 27000 Ohms, allowing values between 25650 to 28350 Ohms.
		To simplify the writing of large resistor values, the abbreviations K and M are used for one thousand and one million.
		Resistors in these groups are less common, and tend to have a better tolerance rating.

	Resistor Summary
		Some resistors are cylindrical, with the actual resistive material in the centre (composition resistors, now obsolete) or on the surface of the cylinder (film) resistors, and a conducting metal lead projecting along the axis of the cylinder at each end(axial lead).
		Resistors are manufactured in values from a few milliohms to about a gigaohm; only a limited range of values from the IEC 60063 preferred number series are commonly available.
		Standard-tolerance SMD resistors are marked with a three-digit code, in which the first two digits are the first two significant digits of the value and the third digit is the power of ten.

		Turn the resistor so that the gold or silver stripe is at the right end of the resistor.
		A gold stripe means the value of the resistor may vary by 5% from the value given by the stripes.
		When two resistors are connected in series, as shown in Figure 1, the new resistance between points A and B is R1 + R2.

		Transene conformal resistor coatings are specially formulated from insulation materials designed to pass rigid, high reliability performance standards for military and space applications.
		The power output of a lamp, resistor, or other component, is defined as the rate of change of electrical energy to heat, light, or some other form of energy.
		The function of the resistor is to reduce electrical noise generated by the ignition system.

	Resistor
		Resistors can be made from many different materials, but the most common is carbon composition (graphite plus binding agents).
		Most resistors have some essentially static value of resistance ('though all resistors are somewhat temperature sensitive, but that's another story...); other types are made, however.
		Photoresistors, as their name suggests, are resistors whose resistance is a function of the amount of light falling on them.

	Terminated Shortwave Antenna -- antenna special on hard-core-dx.com
		The load (shown as R in the figure) is a standard carbon resistor of 1/2 watt power (do not use a wire wound resistor because it will act more like an inductor rather than a resistor at radio frequencies).
		For a resistor of 1200 ohms, a transformer turns ratio of 5 to 1 is used, to provide a match to 50 ohm coax cable.
		It should also be mentioned the resistor value will always be an approximation to a flat response, so that no one value will be best for all the SWL bands you may listen to.

	What is resistor? - a definition from Whatis.com
		A resistor is an electrical component that limits or regulates the flow of electrical current in an electronic circuit.
		Resistors can also be used to provide a specific voltage for an active device such as a transistor.
		All other factors being equal, in a direct-current (DC) circuit, the current through a resistor is inversely proportional to its resistance, and directly proportional to the voltage across it.

		In other circuits, resistors are used to direct current flow to particular parts of the circuit, or may be used to determine the voltage gain of an amplifier.
		You are likely to use low value resistors and metal film resistors on some occasions and it is useful to know how to read their codes.
		Some resistors are designed to pass very large currents and are cased in aluminium with fins to increase surface area and promote heat loss.

		Another example: if you saw a resistor marked 4753, you would interpret that to be 475x10^3 or 475000 or 475k (Note that with 3 significant digits, this 475k resistor was not a 5% resistor).
		In a "5%" tolerance series each resistor in the series is nominally 10% away from its neighbor, so theoretically, any resistor could be found in a large parts box since the value desired is within 5% of a standard value.
		Put 10 striped resistors on the table and 10 numbered resistors on the table and anyone with some experience will be able to A) find a particular value they are looking for or B) sort the resistors much faster with the striped versions.

	Resistor Networks
		Resistor networks are not very exciting to build, so much of our work will be theoretical.
		Just as networks of resistors between two nodes may be replaced by a single equivalent resistance, entire circuits can be replaced by a combination of a single resistor and an ideal power source in two ways.
		Most resistors you will encounter are marked with a set of bands, according to a standard color code, which you can use to determine their resistances.

	Resistor Color Codes & Primer
		Resistors are never the exact value that the color codes indicate.Therefore manufacturers place a tolerance color band on the resistor to tell you just how accurate this resistor is made.
		To determine the exact range that the resistor may be, take the value of the resistor and mutiply it by 5,10, 0r 20%.
		That is the number that the resistor may go either way.
