Resistor Tolerance

A new page has been added to address Resistor Tolerance. The page covers the basic definition of Resistor Tolerance, including self heating and Temperature Coefficient of Resistance. The main link to the page resides on the 'Tolerance' Electronic Dictionary page.

Additional pages that cover resistor topics include;
Resistor Values and Package Sizes.
Resistor MIL Specifications.
Resistor Derating Guide-lines.
Resistor Networks Derating.
Resistor Network Styles.
Resistor Network Package Styles.
Resistor Manufacturers.
Resistor Networks Manufacturers.
Resistor Chip Attenuator Manufacturers.
Resistor Dictionary Terms.

There may be a few other pages, but the ones listed above are the main pages, and they will point to any pages not listed here. Of course there is also a Dictionary of Capacitor Terms too.

VME Mechanical Interface

I added two pages to cover the mechanical standards for the VME interface. The first page covers the new mechanical specification that deals with the VPX card format; REDI, Ruggedized Enhanced Design Implementation Form Factors. While the second page addresses the original VME form function, IEEE-1011.

The IEEE1101 page was added just for completeness and currently only points to a mechanical drawing of the VME board sizes that have been on the site for a number of years now.

The REDI standard defines the new direction with the VME bus, using the VPX card. The VME road map is moving in a new direction leaving the old legacy form factors behind.
