How many types of resistor are their?


Resistor is a current limiting component that can limit the current in the circuit. However, there are many types of resistors. How do you know which one you want?

You can basically separate the resistor in three types. First one is separate from volt-ampere characteristic. For conductor, in the settle temperature, the current didn’t change. In this situation the resistor is called linear resistance. But, on the contrary is called non-linear resistance.

Second, is separate from different material. There are wire wound resistor, carbon film resistor, metal film resistor, carbon composition film resistor and metal oxide film resistor. Different material can have different performance of current limiting.


Third is specialized resistor. In specialized resistor, there are two types of it, insurance resistor and sensitive resistor. 

Resistor have so many options. When you purchase, remember to find the one that fits your needs. Blueschip have various of resistor, you can definitely find the one you want.
