IEC

Magnetoresistive element

This representation identifies a resistive element whose response is associated with a magnetic field. The component is a resistive sensing element associated with a magnetic field. It can participate in a larger measurement circuit rather than providing a ready-made contact output.

Resistor

A resistor representation identifies a resistive component in a circuit. Different drawing conventions can use different basic outlines, while additional qualifiers distinguish variable resistors, shunts or heating elements. The value, rating and purpose are separate annotations.

A distinction that matters

IEC-style rectangular and other conventional resistor depictions can describe the same component concept, but qualifiers and documentation still matter.
