Types of Capacitors. Basic electronic component knowledge Aluminum electrolytic capacitors use oxide films that can be made into anodes by electrolysis as dielectrics. Aluminum is used as the anode metal. Since dielectric films can[...] Types of Resistors. Basic electronic component knowledge Carbon film resistors, commonly called "carbon resistors," use a carbon-based baked film. They have the lowest cost and are available in a wide range of resistance values. Since[...] Preceding 10 items 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
