About products and suppliers

Browse through offers for wholesale thermistor, potentiometer, ballast resistor, shunt resistor, and other types of resistor components. Resistors come with different specifications in certain parameters. Some of the most important are resistance, tolerance, and temperature coefficient. They are categorized by using a resistor color code. A 4 to 6 stripes code is imprinted in the resistor’s body and compared with a table or sheet to get the exact measurements for each parameter. These resistor color bands cover the whole spectrum of colors, from black to green, or yellow to silver, each has its own meaning in context. A 10k resistor color code with 4 stripes, for example, has a resistor color of brown, black, orange, and silver. The first three represent the resistance value, and the last one is the tolerance.



It’s possible to form various types of circuit configurations with resistors. A couple of resistors in series can act as voltage dividers, a simple kind of circuit meant to decrease the voltage. A light dependent resistor is a kind of variable resistor that changes its resistance according to the intensity of a light source. The brighter the light, the more photons reach the electrical resistor, decreasing its equivalent resistance. This is great for light-sensitive devices, such as alarms, sensors, and illumination controllers. A thermistor also has its own specifications and recommended uses. Make sure to check the configuration of resistors in series and parallel to avoid accidents.
