This table shows the various types of resistors one may encounter for specific applications and features. Resistor types can be broadly categorized into fixed and variable classes, and then further divided by materials and types. ROHM specializes in fixed resistors using metal or metal glaze. Chip resistors and chip resistor networks use a metal glaze material, which provides a cost effective surface mount solution for many applications. Metal plate resistors use metal material which provides a low TCR (temperature coefficient of resistance) and allows for low ohmic values.
