Because of rising raw material costs, Taiwanese chip resistor manufacturers have begun increasing prices, with the wave ...

Messing around with Arduino can lead to some fun projects — like simple electronic games, lighting or audio manipulation, or even gesture controls for other devices. However, you'll need the right ...

With surface-mount components quickly becoming the norm, even for homebrew hardware, the resistor color-code can sometimes feel a bit old-hat. However, anybody who has ever tried to identify a random ...

What’s your favorite value of resistor? 1K? 10K? They’re all fine, but when you need nearly no resistance at all, nothing beats the good old zero-ohm resistor. Wait a minute! Resistors are supposed to ...

Price increases are spreading through the passive components industry as clearer pricing signals from market leaders ...

Designs requiring space-grade components must take into account the variances in component values that can occur over time. This is especially true for resistors, which can exhibit significant changes ...

Integrated photonics has become a multi-billion-dollar industry, but it is feeling the heat—literally. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. An increasingly important ...

More than a half-century old, the ubiquitous and mind-bogglingly useful 555 analog timer has become a perennial object for both kudus and criticism. Most of the former and some of the latter is ...
