The resistive material within the resistor converts electrical energy into heat ... loads and offer better performance in terms of heat dissipation compared to carbon composition or metal film ...
Additionally, their robust construction allows them to handle higher power loads compared to other resistor types, such as film or carbon composition resistors. The radial lead configuration also ...
of the remaining carbon offer fine control over the resistor’s resistance giving tolerances of 2% and higher, better than that offered by the carbon composition resistor’s mix. Being pure ...
