1. Types of Resistor
In general resistor can be classified into many types, Then if we classify of resistor
based on the resistance value can be divided into 3 types :
1. Fixed Resistor
Fixed resistor has constan value of resistance, which all of that was setted by EIA
(Electronic Industries Association). The standaritation of value of resistance called in
E6, E12, and E24. Fixed value resistor used for electronics circuit for barrier current in a
circuit. Fixed resistor can found in metal film resistor, carbon resistor, and metal oxide
resistor.
2. Variable Resistor
Variable resistor has value of resistance can be changed. There are many kind of
variable resistor but Potensiometer or trimpot is the most used for variable resistor.
Potensiometer can changed the value of resistance with rotating the axis with
screwdrawer. Commonly, variable resistor used for voltage divider that we can use for
control volume amplifier, tone control and many more.
3. Non Linier Resistor
Non Linier Resistor has value of resistance that dependent with state in area. This matter
caused by temperature, pressure, light etc. example LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) the
resistance will change if struck wight the light, Thermistor the resistance will change if
temperature struck that divided into 2 PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) and NTC
(Negative Temperature Coefficient), Strain Gage the resistance will change if pressure
struck that, etc.
Then if we classify of resistor based on the material used, can be divided into 3 types :
1. Wirewound Resistor
Wirewound resistor is resistor that made from wire entanglemented. So, the value of
resistance determined by long of wire that entanglemented. This resistor commonly
made for high power.
2. Carbon Resistor
The main material is carbon charcoal rod. Ths resistor is most sold and most use for
every one. In this resistor, we can know the power capacity like 1/16 Watt, 1/8 Watt, 1/4
Watt, 1/2 Watt, 1 Watt, 2 Watt dan 3 Watt.
3. Metal Film Resistor
The main material is metal oxide. This resistor has better characteristic than other with
lower tolerance like 1% or 2%. This resistor has physical form like carbon resistor just
different color and value of color ring in resistor. And metal film resistor also have low
power like 1/8, and watt and commonly used for measuring, industrial and military.
2. ReadingThe Resistor Value
The value of resistor can known with colour code or text code in resistor. Resistor with
the color code for fixed value resistor with the lower power capacity. And resistor with the text
code for high power capacity and variable resistor.
1. Color Code Resistor
Resistor has 4, 5 or 6 color code. For 4 color code, color 1 and 2 is digit 1 and 2, color 3
is multiplier and color 4 is tolerance. For 5 and 6 color code, color 1,2 and 3 is digit 1,2
and 3, color 4 is mulplier and 5 is tolerance. And for color 6 is temperature coefficient.
In sequence of color code is black, brown, orange, red, yellow, green, blue, violet, gray
and white.
2. Text Code Resistor
Resistor with text code can be read easily. Just look at the text on the resistor.
Commonly text code has sequence power capacity, resistance and tolerance. Like 5W
22R J, that shown the resistor has power capacity 5W, resistance 22 and 5% for
tolerance.
3. The Power Capacity of Resistor
The Power Capacity of Resistor is maximum power value that can be passed by resistor.
The capacity can known by physical of resistor or read on the text patch on the resistor.
Determining the power capacity in so important to avoid the damage of resistor because out of
limit power capacity that pass and make resistor can be burnt. The resistor with the high power
capacity will have big form.
4. The Tolerance of Resistor
The tolerance of resistor is a range of resistance value that can be permitted and called in good
condition. The tolerance happen because the operational of resistor in change characteristic. In
resistor, the tolerance shown in 1%, 2%, 5% and 10%. And if the resistor measured and shown
the value out of the range of tolerance that resistor in bad condition.
