Choosing Thin Film SMD Resistors: Advantages for Your Design

Thin-film resistors offer more variations and finer tolerances than other options, enabling designers to achieve more accuracy in resistance value with fewer components. Learn how SMD resistors from TE Connectivity can help you save board space and reduce device weight.

Surface-mount resistors, also known as SMD resistors, are crucial components in board design. When selecting an SMD resistor for your project, there are two main types - thin film and thick film. Thin-film resistors are engineered for precision and thick-film resistors are engineered for power. Through advancements in material science, TE has been able to develop new resistors that offer the space-savings of thin-film designs while approaching the extreme power delivery of thick-film ones.

The improved power-to-size ratio of SMD solutions from TE Connectivity makes them perfect for use in harsh environments such as pharmaceutical manufacturing. Due to the high production velocity and wide temperature variations, resistors must exhibit extraordinary stability. The new thin-film resistors from TE do just that.
