There’s no resistor in a current limiting diode, it’s just a JFET graded for IDSS. Report comment. Reply. Joost Yervante Damad says: January 6, 2014 at 9:31 pm ...

Shorting a capacitor with the proper value resistor is a very safe, simple and effective procedure. Inrush current limiting resistor. Perhaps you have noticed a “crack” or “zap” when you connected ...

A SOT23-sized controller (Figure 4) operates from 9V to 72V and requires only one external p-channel MOSFET (Q1) for basic operation. The circuit does not require a current sense resistor to limit ...

With a limiting resistor, the amount of current such a varying load draws will change as the effective resistance changes. But with our simple transistor circuit, 20 mA will always flow. Well ...

A 75-Ω resistor, for instance, would restrict current through Q2 to about 10 mA. This means R2 would only have to dissipate 7.5 mW, allowing a common 1/8-W resistor to easily withstand permanent ...

The size of the required external current-limiting resistor (R REG) depends on the load connected to the V DD pin. Resistor values are calculated using equations in the PIC16HV616 datasheet.

The LM317 was trying to force 40 mA into a white light-emitting diode (LED), so that 1.25 V across RS, the 30.1-ohms sense resistor, would cause a 41-mA current to flow—if you had enough voltage.

The grounding connection should include a 5 to 10 amp current-limiting fuse rated for the full system voltage, ... Set the resistor to its maximum value, and then close the switch.
