What other current limiting and shunt components are there besides resistors?
In order to obtain corresponding current values or parameters in electronic circuits, current limiting and current splitting is an essential action. Therefore, many products have this function. In terms of cost-effectiveness, resistors are already the most cost-effective product for current limiting and current splitting applications. However, in some special environments, there are also many other products that have other special characteristics and also have the functions of current limiting and current splitting. So, which components are they? For example, diodes, transistors, integrated circuits, MOSFETs, inductors, current limiters, fuses, thermistors, and so on. In this article, we will first introduce the most common current limiting and shunt components.
