Proper precision calibration resistors are expensive and usually bulky, often in a large box or can. These are overkill for low-cost handheld digital multimeters (DMMs) and LCR Meters, especially when ...

It’s remarkable how tiny electronics have become. Heaven knows what an old-timer whose experience started with tubes must think, to go from solder tags to SMD in a lifetime is some journey. Even the ...

Pickering Interfaces has announced a new family of PXI and PXIe programmable resistor modules, its first that can handle up to 2A and 200V (or as limited by max power). Credit: Pickering Interface ...

If you’ve got a resistor and you can’t read the color bands (or they’re not present), you can always just grab a multimeter and figure out its value that way. [Giacomo Yong Cuomo] and [Sophia Lin] ...
