Chip Resistor - Surface Mount
Chip Resistor - Surface Mount (SMT) are compact resistive components designed to be mounted directly onto the surface of printed circuit boards (PCBs). These resistors are integral in controlling the flow of electrical current within electronic circuits, ensuring that devices function correctly and efficiently. Operating on the principle of Ohm's Law, these resistors provide a precise resistance value that limits current flow, dissipates power, and divides voltages. Their small size and surface-mount technology make them ideal for modern electronics where space conservation and automated assembly are paramount.
