This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the Resistor Kits category on DigiKey.com
Resistor Kit types are carbon film, ceramic, metal element, metal film, metal foil, metal oxide, thick film, and wirewound with resistance ranging from 0.0 ohms to 10M ohms and power ranging from 0.03W, 1/32W to 250W. A resistor is a two-terminal passive electronic component designed to oppose an electric current by producing a voltage drop between its terminals in proportion to the current.
SelectionCharacteristics
Kit Type: A general description of the function and contents of the kit.
Resistance (Ohms): Characterizes the nominal resistance of a current path through a device. Indicates the span of resistances the kit includes.
Power (Watts): Identifies the amount of heat that can be continuously dissipated by the resistive element without damaging the device. Measured in Watts (W) and typically based on the size of the device. Indicates the span of wattages the kit includes.
Tolerance: Characterizes the extent of permitted variability of overall device resistance among samples of a given part number, resulting from variations in manufacturing. span of tolerances the kit includes.
Features: These are different capabilities or properties of the device such as anti-arc, flame proof, or moisture resistant.
Quantity: Indicates the number of pieces contained in the kit.
Mounting Type: Indicates how the devices in the kit can be attached.
Packages Included: Describes the footprints/terminations/sizes the items in the kit have.
