Resistor Terms:


'A', 'B/C', 'D/E', 'F-M', 'N', 'P', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'V'

Derating: The process of reducing the rated wattage of a resistor based on the possible maximum operating temperature. Guide Lines to derating a resistor.

Dielectric Strength: The ultimate breakdown voltage of the dielectric or insulation of the resistor when the voltage is applied between the case and all terminals tied together.

DIP Package: Dual In-Line package. Types of Resistor Network Packages

DIP Resistor

EIA: A trade organization representing the United States high technology community, sponsoring technical standards.

Equivalent Resistance: A resistance that represents the total ohmic values of a circuit component or group of circuit components. Usually drawn as a single resistor in a simplified circuit.
