Virtually every electronic circuit and/or system requires many passive devices in every section of a given circuit. This is true for a wide variety of applications, from solar and wind power inverters to radar systems, cellular/WiMAX base stations, and industrial power supplies.

It is said of any circuit design, that if the semiconductor devices are the "heart and brains" then the passive devices are its "other critical organs". To help you design-in the best passive devices for your circuit design, Richardson Electronics stocks and supports the passive devices included below.
