Resistors from different technologies may seem alike on the surface, and may often have similar published specifications, such as initial TCR and tolerance. However, each offers a unique resistive material and production method. Inherent resistive material, design, and processing variations strongly influence electrical performances, leading to different behaviors after mounting.
In Selecting Resistors to Avoid Unforeseen Stress Factors, Hernik will provide a perceptive explanation of the primary factors that influence resistor stability in a real environment. In addition, he will perform a real-time demonstration that illustrates the differences between bulk metal foil, thin film, thick film, and wirewound resistor technologies, including ESD properties, so that designers can decide which technology best meets their requirements.
The tutorial will take place on Nov. 11 from 11:15 a.m. to 12 p.m. in Room 14A of the International Congress Centre.
