Inductances

Inductances

Inductors are electrical components that generate and store magnetic fields when current flows. They usually consist of coils made of wire and are used for voltage stabilization, signal filtering or energy transfer in electrical circuits. Their inductance is measured in Henry (H) and depends on the design, number of windings and core material.

Design and function of chip resistors

Chip resistors are compact electronic components that precisely regulate the flow of electrical current on printed circuit boards. They consist of a ceramic carrier to which a resistant layer is applied - usually a thick-film or thin-film technology. This layer determines the resistance value and is connected to the PCB via metal contacts on the side.

Thanks to SMD (surface mount device) technology, chip resistors can be soldered directly onto the circuit board, which saves space and enables automated production. They are used in numerous applications, from industrial electronics and automotive technology to high-precision control systems. Rotima AG offers a wide range of resistors in cooperation with Hongda Capacitors to ensure reliable and powerful solutions for modern electronics.

Frequently asked questions about chip resistors

In our FAQ section, we answer the most important questions about chip resistors - from technical properties and areas of application to the right choice. Whether you want to find out more about sizes, resistor values or the advantages of SMD technology - you will find clear and understandable answers here.

What designs and sizes are available for chip resistors?

Chip resistors are available in various sizes based on the standardized SMD dimensions. The most common formats range from 01005 (0.4 × 0.2 mm) to 2512 (6.3 × 3.2 mm). Smaller sizes such as 01005 or 0201 are preferred in highly integrated circuits and space-critical applications, while larger sizes such as 1206 or 2512 offer higher performance and load capacity. The choice of size depends on the required power, the current carrying capacity and the available space on the PCB.

Thanks to SMD (surface mount device) technology, these resistors can be mounted directly on the circuit board to save space, which increases production efficiency. Companies such as Rotima AG offer a wide range of resistors in various sizes to meet the most diverse requirements in industrial electronics, automotive engineering and medical technology.

Why are chip resistors so important in electronics?

Chip resistors are indispensable components in modern electronic circuits. They perform central functions such as current and voltage limitation, signal processing and protection of sensitive components. Without resistors, electronic circuits would carry uncontrolled currents, which can lead to malfunctions or damage.

Especially in sensitive applications such as medical technology, automotive technology or industrial electronics, they ensure stable and precise control circuits. Thanks to SMD technology, chip resistors can be mounted directly on the circuit board, which enables the miniaturization of devices and automated production. In cooperation with Hongda Capacitors, Rotima AG offers a wide range of chip resistors that meet the highest quality standards. Their high temperature and voltage resistance make them ideal for long-term use in demanding environments.

What are the differences between thick-film and thin-film chip resistors?

Chip resistors are mainly manufactured using thick-film and thin-film technology. Thick film resistors consist of a printed and baked resistor layer on a ceramic carrier. They are cost-effective, robust and suitable for many general applications.

However, their resistance value can have a greater tolerance. Thin-film resistors, on the other hand, are manufactured by vapor deposition of a thin metal or carbon layer on a substrate. They offer higher precision, lower tolerances and better temperature stability, which is why they are preferred in high-quality measuring devices, telecommunications and high-end electronics. Rotima AG offers chip resistors in both technologies to meet the requirements of a wide range of applications. The choice between thick and thin film depends on the desired accuracy, power handling and cost structure of the circuit.

What role do chip resistors play in automotive technology?

In modern vehicles, chip resistors perform numerous control and protection functions. They are used in control units, vehicle electrical systems, sensors and engine control units to process electrical signals precisely. As vehicles operate under extreme temperature and vibration conditions, these resistors must be particularly temperature-stable, durable and reliable. High-quality chip resistors help to increase energy efficiency, for example in battery management systems in electric vehicles.

Due to the increasing electrification of vehicles, the demand for high-performance and space-saving resistor solutions continues to rise. Together with Hongda Capacitors, Rotima AG offers a wide range of chip resistors that are specially certified for automotive applications in accordance with the AEC-Q200 standard. These guarantee high quality and a long service life - essential for the safe operation of modern vehicles.

How do you choose the right chip resistor for a circuit?

The selection of a suitable chip resistor depends on several factors: Resistance value (ohms), load capacity (watts), tolerance (%), temperature coefficient (ppm/°C) and size. First, the required resistor value is calculated based on the desired current and voltage regulation.

The load capacity is crucial to avoid overheating - the greater the resistance, the more power it can absorb. Precision applications require a low tolerance and stable temperature coefficients, while standard applications can be covered with thick film resistors. The size must also be adapted to the design of the circuit board.

Rotima AG offers a wide range of chip resistors with different specifications for industrial, automotive and medical technology applications. If you are unsure, you should contact an experienced distributor to find the optimum solution for your project.
