Chip Resistor - Surface Mount

A resistor is a type of electrical component that reduces the flow of electric current. It is made of a material that resists the flow of electricity, such as carbon or metal alloy, and is used to regulate the current in an electrical circuit. A chip resistor is a type of resistor that is made in the form of a small chip or disc. It is typically used in surface mount technology (SMT), which is a method of mounting electronic components onto the surface of a printed circuit board (PCB) using solder. Surface mount chip resistors are very small and are used in applications where space is limited, such as in portable electronic devices.
