Check out the resistor color code reference cards I just whipped up. I was inspired by the PCB versions that Octopart has been crowdfunding this week. Those didn’t have the information I would ...

Surface-mounted resistors are resistors that contain numerical figures in codes similar to the ones used on axial lead-type resistors. These resistors use SMT technology to decrease the proportions of ...

Earlier this week, fellow Hack a Day-er [Mike Nathan] reviewed Adafruit’s new iPhone/iPad app Circuit Playground. The comments on [Mike]’s review turned to suggesting ElectroDroid as an alternative to ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has extended its E/H series of MIL-PRF-55342-qualified thin film surface-mount resistor chips to offer an "S" level failure rate of 0.001 % per 1,000 hours in 12 case ...
