Quartz crystals and filters

Passive components are the group that defines the electrical behaviour of a circuit and is used at every layer, from the power supply to the signal paths. This section covers a wide range, from resistors and capacitors to timing and protection elements.

The resistors and capacitors section includes SMD and THT options covering ceramic, film, electrolytic, tantalum and supercapacitor types. Alongside these, quartz crystals and filters, inductive components, potentiometers and trimmers, encoders, NTC thermistors, varistors and surge arrestors are listed under separate headings.

Murata, Vishay, Panasonic, KYOCERA AVX, TDK, Yageo, Royal Ohm, Viking, Littelfuse and TE Connectivity are among the manufacturers with the most products in this section.

Selection criteria such as tolerance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient and package size can be read from the technical table on the product pages; the category filters let you narrow down by these values.
