Resistors can be found in almost all electrical networks and electronic circuits. The resistor is a passive electrical component. It creates resistance and regulates the flow of the current when it’s placed in electrical and electronic circuits. Current (A) and Resistance (Ω) can be measured by using Ohm’s Law. Resistors can be used to limit the current flow through a diode and to terminate a transmission line and prevent reflections. Resistors are created using a variety of materials, including carbon composite, carbon film, metal film, and wire wound. In terms of size, consumer electronics require them to be small and precise. Regarding the industrial applications, there it is usually required resistors that are capable of dissipating large amounts of power, so resistors end up being larger.

In CPH Electronics we can supply many resistor types including carbon, ceramic, chassis mount, current sense, film, metal foil, metal oxide, & wirewound resistors. Resistors are coming in surface-mount and through-hole packages.

Below you will find the resistors by category:
