#Resistors

[pardalote]

Because sometimes you just have to stitch resistors and capacitors. And a few diodes for good measure.

The resistor code (how you recognize the value of a resistor from the bands of color) is almost good and then totally faceplants at the end. The way it works is you have a system of (Digit 1) (Digit 2) (Digit 3) * (multiplier). Except this isn't scientific notation; you have to convert everything awkwardly in your head by multiplying a 3 digit number (123) by the multiplier. So 1,2,3,4 -> (123) * 10^4 = 1.23*10^6 = 1.23 MOhms.

They could just have easily had it be significant digit and then scientific notation. This would have made 4, 5, and 6 band resistors equivalent, just with added precision. But nope! For a 4 band resistor you have a 10s number * multiplier and a 6 band gets extra digits (note: I may be wrong here).

Just, it was so close and you guys had to ruin it.

PCB of the day! Requiem for a 5.1K CC resistor 🔌💡🔧

We have a few gadgets around the house that, despite having a USB type C connector, do not abide by the USB C power delivery specification! They leave off or mis-connect the two 5.1K resistors required to tell a USB PD wall adapter that they want 5V 1A power, a common issue because the devices work fine with a USB A to C cable, and only Macbooks seem picky about this stuff: cheap power supplies blast 5V and call it a day. This doo-hickey is a solution. It has two USB sockets nestled back-to-back, and instead of connecting the CC lines through, each half has its own dedicated resistor set. It makes for an excellent symmetrical design. Pair it with a short USB C-C cable to create an inline extender. We considered having one side be a plug, but the SMT-able plug connectors seemed like they needed to be more mechanically stable.

hey electrical engineering side of tumblr, does anybody have a table of resistors with wattage and size listed
