Frequently Asked Questions
What types of resistors do you offer?
We offer fixed resistors, variable resistors (potentiometers), and specialty resistors such as thermistors and varistors.
How do I determine the correct resistor for my circuit?
Consider the resistance value, power rating, tolerance, and temperature coefficient required for your circuit.
What is the difference between a potentiometer and a variable resistor?
A potentiometer is a type of variable resistor with three terminals, typically used to adjust voltage. A variable resistor has two terminals and is used to adjust current.
Can you provide resistors with custom resistance values?
Yes, we can supply resistors with custom resistance values. Contact us for more details.
What are the common applications for potentiometers?
Potentiometers are commonly used for adjusting levels in audio equipment, as position sensors, and for tuning circuits.
