TE Connectivity's (TE) SMD Resistor Solutions allow designers to create smaller, lighter, faster, and more robust devices with expanded capabilities. SMD Resistors are surface-mount resistors that are low profile and make more efficient use of board space than through-hole resistors. TE SMD resistors offer up to three times the power of previous-generation resistors with a similar increase in power-to-size ratio. The wide variety of SMD resistor products includes thick-film SMD resistors that are well-suited for applications that involve higher power and thin-film SMD resistors that are well-suited for applications that require precision and stability.
