Resistors
A resistor is a passive component that reduces voltage or limits the current flowing through a circuit. This component can also absorb energy and dissipate this energy in the form of heat. Its resistance to the flow of electrons is determined by the conductive materials with which it is built. The materials used in the composition of a resistor perform a critical role in enabling performance reliability and stability, particularly for high-voltage, high-power, high stability/accuracy, or high-current applications.
Resistors
Surface Mount Resistors
A surface mount resistor is a tiny rectangular ceramic body with silver conductive edges on either end. They provide the same functionality as the more traditional axially leaded resistors but has a lower power dissipation capacity and oftentimes a lower stray inductance and capacity.
Resistors
Through-Hole Resistors
A through-hole resistor is a fixed resistor that has long, pliable leads that can be stuck into a breadboard or hand- or wave-soldered into a printed circuit board. A through-hole resistor is used to reduce the flow of electrical current within a circuit. It’s commonly composed of carbon film, metal film, metal oxide film, thick film, or wirewound.

We also offer an extensive range of accessories, including knobs, caps, boot seals, and respective hardware.
Switches
Tactile Switches
Tactile switches provide tactile feedback to the user when the switch or button makes contact with the control panel underneath, which is usually a printed circuit board.
Switches
DIP & SIP Switches
A DIP switch is a manual electronic package that is composed of a series of tiny switches. It has a rectangular casing and two parallel rows of connecting terminals. A SIP switch is a computer chip package that has a single row of connection pins.
Switches
Pushbutton Switches
A pushbutton switch is a non-latching or momentary switch that causes a temporary change of current in an electrical circuit when the button is pressed. A spring returns the switch to its original position immediately afterwards.
Switches
Snap Action Switches
A snap action switch is a mechanical switch that sends a rapid transfer of contacts from one position to another. Also known as micro switches, snap action switches can be momentary or maintained contact and come in subminiature, miniature, and standard styles.
