Farnell offers a comprehensive selection of fixed-value resistors, including carbon film, metal film, thick film, and wire-wound types. These resistors are designed to deliver consistent resistance levels for precise control over current flow, making them essential for various electronic applications in consumer electronics, automotive systems, and industrial equipment.
A fixed-value resistor provides a constant resistance, ensuring a stable current flow in electronic circuits. Unlike variable resistors, fixed resistors have a set resistance that does not change, allowing for precise current regulation according to Ohm's Law. These resistors help limit current, protect sensitive components, and maintain stable circuit performance.
Farnell’s fixed-value resistors come in a range of resistance values, power ratings, and tolerance levels to meet diverse design requirements. With stable performance, durability, and high reliability, our resistors ensure optimal functionality and protection for your electronic projects.
Applications:
- Voltage Reduction: Managing and reducing incoming voltage in power supplies.
- Current Limiting: Regulating current flow to protect sensitive components.
- Heat Dissipation: Used in circuits where controlled heat dissipation is necessary.
- Signal Conditioning: Setting bias levels for transistors and diodes.
- Digital Circuits: Acting as pull-up or pull-down resistors to set default logic levels.
