Resistors may look small, but they play a critical role in keeping electronics safe and functional. This video explains what ...

Stackpole’s latest current-sensing resistors and Bourns’ thermal jumper chips use state-of-the-art materials and packaging and to boost thermal performance and stability in ...

Capacitors, resistors, inductors, connectors, and even the printed-circuit board (PCB) are called passive because they don’t have gain or control power like semiconductors or other active devices (see ...

As a reminder, I first opened this can of worms with my original series of "The Beginner’s Guide to Electronics: TOOLS—What to Buy First" columns (see Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4). These “Tools ...
