Resistor Chip Attenuator Manufacturers


Following yesterdays posting of Manufacturers of Current Sense Resistors, a new page was added providing a listing for Resistor Chip Attenuator Manufacturers. Both pages are linked of the main Resistor Manufacturers page, and all three pages should be cross-linked.

There are other sub pages linked from the resistor pages that do not contain a link to either of the new pages;
Manufacturers of Potentiometers,
Manufacturers of Thermistors,
Manufacturers of Varistors,
Manufacturers of Semiconductor Resistors.

Never had a chance to design a circuit using a Current Sense Resistor, but it's hard to design a board with out an attenuator. However, always having a small amount of free space I don't purchase a new device to make an attenuator. I reuse the same resistors already used on the part list if possible. Why add a new line item, if you can avoid it. Of course for that to work, you need to be using many different resistor values.

Always add to the quantity of a line item rather than adding a new line item. New line items always cost more.

Oh the top listing for electronic component Manufacturers, or Passive Circuit Design data.
