About the classification of common resistors

There are many kinds of resistors on the market, and the commonly used resistors can be divided into the following categories according to their structures, materials, applications, and names of various resistors. Xiao Bian chose some common resistors on the market to introduce it to everyone.

According to the structure can be divided into: general resistors, chip resistors and variable resistors (potentiometers).

According to the material can be divided into: alloy type, film type and synthetic type.

According to use can be divided into: ordinary type, the allowable error is +5%, +10%, ± 20%, etc.; precision type, which allows enthalpy difference of ± 2% ~ +0.001%; ​​high-frequency type, also known as non-inductive resistance , Power up to 100W; High voltage type, rated voltage up to 35kV; High resistance type, resistance value 10MΩ ~ 100MΩ; Sensitive, resistance is very sensitive to temperature, pressure, gas, etc., will change according to their changes; Type, also known as fuse resistor.

According to the name can be divided into:

1. Wirewound resistors: general-purpose wirewound resistors, precision wirewound resistors, high-power wirewound resistors, and high-frequency wirewound resistors.

2. Thin Film Resistors: Carbon Film Resistors, Synthetic Carbon Film Resistors, Metal Film Resistors, Metal Oxide Film Resistors, Chemically Deposited Film Resistors, Glass Glaze Film Resistors, Metal Nitride Film Resistors.

3, solid resistors: Inorganic synthetic solid carbon resistors, organic synthesis of solid carbon resistors.

4. Sensitive resistors: varistors, thermistors, light-sensitive resistors, force-sensitive resistors, gas-sensitive resistors, and humidity-sensitive resistors.
