Over time, small, usually carbon cylinders became too large, especially around miniature integrated circuits. Today, resistors are primarily encountered as small rectangular blocks adapted for surface-mount device (SMD) assembly. Their small physical size, much smaller than previously used through-hole resistors, has translated into the possibility of even greater miniaturization of circuits used in electronic devices. The density of component placement is increasing, resulting also in less material consumption, lower production costs, as well as improved energy efficiency of devices. In today\u2019s world, the use of ever smaller components by electronics manufacturers is no longer just a convenience but also a necessity if they want to meet current technological standards.<\/p><div class=\"elect-test\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"elect-506899908\"><div id=\"DFP-EW-InRead1\">\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"> if ($(window).width() > 768) { googletag.display('DFP-EW-InRead1'); } <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<BR>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>One of the manufacturers of miniature resistors, whose offer is available at TME, is\u00a0<a rel=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tme.eu\/gb\/manufacturers\/p,panasonic_131\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Panasonic<\/a>.

Components limiting the current value are placed in common housing variants adapted for surface-mount assembly; most of them are available in imperial sizes 0603 and 0805, but smaller and larger packages (from 0201 to 2512) are also available. Tolerance is another characteristic parameter of resistors. For most Panasonic components, tolerance values are \u00b11%, \u00b10.5%, and \u00b10.1%, but resistors with smaller or greater accuracy are also available. This way, the manufacturer can meet even the most demanding project requirements. It is also worth mentioning that all resistors comply with the AEC-Q200 standard, and their operating temperature depends on the specific model, ranging from -55\u00b0C to 175\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"ci-image lazyloaded alignnone\" title=\"0805\" src=\"https:\/\/avsuwzdjuo.cloudimg.io\/v7\/_cs_\/2026\/02\/6981e8be54e64\/0805.png?w=1536&amp;org_if_sml=1\" alt=\"Thick film resistor with a resistance of 100 \u03a9.\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1152\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/avsuwzdjuo.cloudimg.io\/v7\/_cs_\/2026\/02\/6981e8be54e64\/0805.png?w=1536&amp;org_if_sml=1 1x, https:\/\/avsuwzdjuo.cloudimg.io\/v7\/_cs_\/2026\/02\/6981e8be54e64\/0805.png?w=2304&amp;org_if_sml=1 1.5x, https:\/\/avsuwzdjuo.cloudimg.io\/v7\/_cs_\/2026\/02\/6981e8be54e64\/0805.png?w=3072&amp;org_if_sml=1 2x\" data-src=\"https:\/\/avsuwzdjuo.cloudimg.io\/v7\/_cs_\/2026\/02\/6981e8be54e64\/0805.png?w=1536&amp;org_if_sml=1\" \/><em>Thick film resistor with a resistance of 100 \u03a9.<\/em><br \/>\n<strong><a rel=\"image\" class=\"cs-btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tme.eu\/gb\/katalog\/?queryPhrase=panasonic_202602_lp&amp;keywordSetName=extended&amp;params=34:1436797,1510158\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">SMD Resistors from Panasonic \u00bb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">RESISTOR NETWORKS \u2013 COMPACT SOLUTIONS FOR PRECISE CIRCUITS<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"ci-image lazyloaded alignnone\" title=\"EXB28V103JX\" src=\"https:\/\/avsuwzdjuo.cloudimg.io\/v7\/_cs_\/2026\/02\/6981e8bd69824\/EXB28V103JX.png?w=1536&amp;org_if_sml=1\" alt=\"Y-type network with 8 resistors.\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1152\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/avsuwzdjuo.cloudimg.io\/v7\/_cs_\/2026\/02\/6981e8bd69824\/EXB28V103JX.png?w=1536&amp;org_if_sml=1 1x, https:\/\/avsuwzdjuo.cloudimg.io\/v7\/_cs_\/2026\/02\/6981e8bd69824\/EXB28V103JX.png?w=2304&amp;org_if_sml=1 1.5x, https:\/\/avsuwzdjuo.cloudimg.io\/v7\/_cs_\/2026\/02\/6981e8bd69824\/EXB28V103JX.png?w=3072&amp;org_if_sml=1 2x\" data-src=\"https:\/\/avsuwzdjuo.cloudimg.io\/v7\/_cs_\/2026\/02\/6981e8bd69824\/EXB28V103JX.png?w=1536&amp;org_if_sml=1\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Y-type network with 8 resistors.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Besides classic resistors, Panasonic also offers resistor networks, which enable designing even more compact electronic circuits.
