Selecting A Resistor Tester For Thermal Testing

Testing a Thermistor

A thermistor is a thermal resistor - a resistor that changes its resistance with temperature. Technically, all resistors are thermistors - their resistance changes slightly with temperature - but t...

A resistor operates by converting electrical energy into heat energy by means of a resistive element. In most applications, resistive components are mounted to a heatsink, a flange ( as depicted in Figure 1 and Figure 2), or directly on a PCB using industry-standard solders. When DC or RF power is input into the resistive component, the power is converted by the resistive element into heat. In ...
