TMJ Thermal Jumpers for Temperature Issues for Power Supplies Amplifiers and Servers

Stackpole’s TMJ SMD thermal jumpers enhance high power designs by lowering the temperature of critical components while maintaining circuit integrity with high standoff voltage and low capacitance.

Understanding IEC Standard Ohmic Values for Resistors

The E-series of preferred numbers were thus created and published in IEC 60063:1952.

Resistor Specifications And How To Interpret Them

In this paper we discuss the different performance characteristics, the test conditions, and how to interpret the test results.

LED Lighting

This application highlight will discuss LED lighting applications and the important non-commodity resistors that are regularly required for them.

Critical Resistance Values - Relationship Between Working Voltage Rating and Power Rating

Stackpole Electronics' article on the relationship between working voltage rating and power rating.

Thick Film and Thin Film Resistors – A Comparison

Even though they look essentially the same to the naked eye and share many of the same process steps, thick film and thin film technologies are very different.

The Changing World of Power Resistors

Power resistors have been around as long as the automobile, the telephone and the light bulb.

Recent Developments in SMD Molded Resistors

As little as 5 years ago, it would have been difficult to find a reliable 3 watt surface mount resistor regardless of technology, or packaging.

New Alternatives to Costly Tantalum Nitride Resistors

Corrosion is generally a bad thing. Moisture and metal are simply not a good combination.
