Resistors, Capacitors, Varistors and Passive Electronics
Passive electronic component types and the need for electrical insulation
BKEpoxy supplies a range of epoxy coating powders developed for electrical insulation of passive electronic devices including resistors, varistors and capacitors. From high-temperature resistant, stable, and excellent thermal cycling materials used for Class 1 rated ceramic capacitors to fast curing and low-cost epoxy coating powder materials used for thin-film packaged capacitors, most of the products provided by BKEpoxy for passive electronic products have UL lists.
Passive electronic components are normally two-terminal components that cannot introduce net energy into a circuit and also cannot amplify a signal (have the ability to produce gain).
Examples of passive components include:
Capacitors: Components that store and release electrical charge
Resistors: Components that oppose current and pass current in proportion to the voltage.
Varistors: Components that pass current when there is too much voltage.
