Chip Resistor – Surface Mount (959780) – Page 15

Chip resistors are surface-mount devices (SMD) used to limit electrical current and divide voltages in electronic circuits. They are designed to be mounted directly onto the surface of printed circuit boards (PCBs) without the need for through-hole installation. Chip resistors are available in various resistance values, sizes, and tolerances, making them versatile components for a wide range of applications. Their compact size and reliable performance make them essential for modern electronic devices, where space and efficiency are critical considerations.
