Overview of Resistor Families
Regardless of the application, a resistor is essentially a current control, voltage drop product.
Additionally, Bourns® components can be designed to withstand unique application challenges like an
overcurrent pulse for a short duration without significant changes of resistor characteristics. Bourns®
Fixed Resistors can be defined by construction type (thick film, wirewound, etc.), the way they are
processed, (through-hole, surface mount, etc.) the intended use (current sense, high frequency, etc.),
accuracy, size, power or many other ways. Each resistor does two main things: control current and
control a drop in voltage.
Bourns also has a very broad offering of resistor network (Model 4xxx Series), in a wide selection of
industry standard models. Therefore, they can be used with an industry standard footprint for seamless
placement in printed circuit board designs.
Bourns® chip resistors are available in various package sizes, standard values and technologies
which are designed to meet most market requirements including those for specific application and
performance characteristics.
Bourns® CRL series resistors offer total resistance values less than those required by industry standards
providing engineers enhanced circuit design flexibility.
When more precision is desired, Bourns® CRT series provides tight tolerance and high precision over
a wide range of resistance values. These resistors are typically used in current sense applications and
precision circuits, with specific ordering characteristics for size and performance selection.
