Resistors for Different Electronic Applications
Explore resistor series for electricity meters, industrial control, audio amplifiers, EV chargers, LED lighting and general electronic applications. Review the linked specifications to find candidates for your circuit.
These are starting points for selection. Confirm the exact part, ratings and test conditions for your circuit.
Electricity Meters
Explore resistor options for electricity-meter sensing and control circuits. The YANGZHI catalogue lists shunt resistors and SMD wirewound resistors for smart meters, and wirewound resistors for electric meters.
Industrial Control
Industrial control and power equipment can place different demands on load, braking and discharge circuits. Catalogue examples include frequency converters, load banks and burn-in equipment. Compare the resistor design with the operating load and installation.
Audio Amplifiers
The RJM SMD metal film series is listed for audio equipment in the YANGZHI catalogue. For other amplifier circuit positions, compare metal film and cement resistor options against the required resistance, noise, power and mounting conditions.
EV Chargers
Explore SMD, shunt, metal film, wirewound and cement resistor options for EV charger circuits, with particular attention to CR-MPR cement resistor variants. Catalogue examples include chargers for RTM, fast charging for RXM, and on-board charger current detection for shunt resistors. Confirm the exact circuit role, electrical load, thermal conditions and mounting before selecting a part.
LED Lighting
Explore SMD carbon film, SMD wirewound, metal film and wirewound resistor options for LED lighting circuits. The catalogue lists RTM for LED lighting and RXM for lighting applications; evaluate MF and KNP options against the required circuit role, resistance, package size and operating load.
General Applications
For consumer electronics, household appliances, communications and other general electronic circuits, start with the required resistance and circuit role. Compare film resistor options using the individual series specifications and actual operating conditions.

| Application | Selection checks | Series to evaluate |
|---|---|---|
| Electricity Meters | Current range and shunt dissipation; resistance tolerance and TCR; self-heating; connection resistance and mounting. | |
| Industrial Control | Continuous and intermittent load; pulse energy and duty cycle; heat removal; mounting, ventilation and clearance. | |
| Audio Amplifiers | Circuit role and resistance tolerance; noise requirements; TCR; power dissipation, temperature rise and package size. | |
| EV Chargers | Charging current and sensing range; power dissipation; working voltage; start-up and pulse conditions; thermal and mounting requirements. | |
| LED Lighting | Operating current and power; PCB footprint; ambient temperature; pulse and start-up conditions. | |
| General Applications | Resistance range and tolerance; TCR where needed; working voltage and rated power; board space and assembly method. |
These series are starting points for circuit evaluation, not a statement that every part is qualified for every application. Confirm resistance, tolerance, rated power at the operating temperature, working voltage, pulse conditions and mounting. Final suitability requires evaluation under the actual operating conditions.
