Typically, current sensing resistors are used to monitor current in products such as power supplies, receptacles, and battery packs. | ||

| Technology / Construction | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Carbon Composition | Carbon-composition resistors consist of powdered carbon, an insulating material, and a resin binder. Their resistance value is determined by the ratio of powdered carbon to insulating material. Carbon-composition resistors usually have a precision of no greater than 5%. This means that a 100-ohm resistor can range from 95 to 105 ohms in actual value. | ||
| Carbon Film | Carbon-film resistors are relatively inexpensive and readily available. They have resistance values within ±10% or ±5% of their marked or nominal value. | ||
| Cermet | Cermet devices are made of cermet, a composite that consists of ceramic and metallic materials. They are often used in high-temperature applications. | ||
| Ceramic Composition | Ceramic-composition resistors are solid-body devices made of a high-temperature, ceramic resistive material. They have bonded metal contacts. The construction of ceramic-composition resistors concentrates nearly all of the component mass into the resistive element, resulting in a rugged device with high-energy capacity. | ||
| Metal Alloy | Metal-alloy resistors contain metallic elements. Varying these elements can alter the alloy's properties. | ||
| Metal Film | Metal-film resistors are produced by depositing a resistive element on a high-grade, ceramic rod. The metal film’s resistive element may be carbon, nickel chromium; or a mixture of metal and glass, or metal and metal oxide. The precise resistance is achieved by removing part of the metal film in a spiral pattern around the rod. Typically, the tolerance is within ±2% or ±1% of the nominal value. When a tolerance of 1% is achieved, a 100-ohm, 1% resistor falls in the range of 99 to 101 ohms. | ||
| Metal Foil | Resistors are made of metal foil. | ||
| Metal Oxide | Metal-oxide resistors are similar to metal-film resistors. Although there are some differences between these resistor types, none affect their use in simple circuits. | ||
| Tantalum | Resistors are made of tantalum, an element that is also used in capacitors. Tantalum resistors are used in audio applications. | ||
| Thick Film | Thick-film resistors are made by stenciling a resistive metallic paste or ink onto a base in a process similar to silk screening. Usually, this resistive material is considered to be proprietary. | ||
| Thin Film | Thin-film resistors are formed by vapor-deposition of a thin layer of resistive material onto a base. They are trimmed to a specific value by lasering or sandblasting. | ||
| Wirewound Resistor | Wirewound resistors are made by winding thin wire onto a ceramic rod. Highly-accurate devices are used in multimeter, oscilloscopes and other measuring equipment. Wirewound resistors that can pass large currents without overheating are used in power supplies and other high-current circuits. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary configurations. | ||

| Packing Method | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Tape Reel | Components are packed in tape reel assemblies that include a carrier tape with embossed cavities for storing individual components. A cover tape seals the carrier tape in place. This composite tape is then wound on a reel that is placed in a corrugated shipping box for transport and delivery. Customers unpack the reels and load them into industry-standard, pick-and-place board assembly equipment. Tape and reel assemblies provide component isolation and are designed for surface mount packages such as quad flat package (QFP) and thin quad flat package (TQFP). Typically, carrier tape is made from a polystyrene (PS) or PS-laminate film with a uniform film thickness between 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm. Carrier tape design is defined largely by component length, width, and thickness. Cover tape is made from a polyethylene teraphthalate (PET) film or film laminate with an adhesive applied to the underside of the film. This adhesive is usually heat and pressure sensitive to ensure a positive, consistent seal between the carrier tape and the cover tape. The reels that contain the composite tape are typically made of polystyrene and have one, two, or three parts. Reel dimensions meet EIA-481-1, EIA-481-2, and EIA-481-3 standards. | ||
| Rail | This is a method of packaging IC chips for production environments. | ||
| Bulk Pack | Components are distributed as individual parts. | ||
| Tray | Components are packed in trays that are made of carbon-powder or fiber materials and molded into rectangular outlines that contain matrices of uniformly spaced pockets. These containers protect components during shipping and provide proper component location and orientation for use with industry-standard, pick-and-place board assembly equipment. Trays are designed for components for that have leads on four sides and that require component lead isolation during shipping, handling, or processing. For example, quad flat package (QFP) and thin quad flat package (TQFP) components are often shipped in trays. To facilitate shipping and handling, trays are stacked and bound together in standard configurations. To provide rigidity, an empty cover tray is added to the top of the load. Typical stacking configurations consist of five full trays and one cover tray, and ten full trays and one cover tray. Customer requirements determine whether trays are shipped in single or multiple stacks. | ||
| Shipping Tube / Stick Magazine | Components are packed in shipping tubes or stick magazines that are made of rigid polyvinylchloride (PVC) and extruded in industry-standard sizes. These containers protect components during shipping and provide proper component location and orientation for use with industry-standard, pick-and-place board assembly equipment. To facilitate shipping and handling, shipping tubes and stick magazines are usually loaded into intermediate containers such as boxes or bags to form standard quantities. Intermediate-level packing quantities for shipping tubes and stick magazines often vary by pin count and package type. | ||
