Product type
Carbon film resistors are passive electronic components used to limit current flow in circuits. They are made from a thin layer of carbon film deposited on an insulating substrate, which provides a precise resistance value. These resistors are known for their stability and reliability in various electronic applications.
| Resistance range | 1 ohm to 10 megohm |
| Power rating | 1/8 W to 2 W |
| Tolerance | 1% to 10% |
| Temperature coefficient | 100 to 200 ppm/┬░C |
| Operating temperature | -55┬░C to +155┬░C |
When choosing carbon film resistors, consider the required resistance value, power rating, and tolerance level for your application. It's also important to specify the temperature coefficient and operating temperature range to ensure reliability under varying conditions. Buyers should request quantities based on their project needs, and consider any specific certifications required for their industry.
