SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on sourcing resistors and capacitors that can withstand high temperatures, specifically up to 125 degrees Celsius. Resistors can typically handle temperatures up to 155 degrees Celsius, while ceramic capacitors, particularly X7R types, are suitable for applications at 125 degrees Celsius. Users are advised to consult the temperature coefficient (tempco) graphs for ceramic capacitors to ensure compatibility with their circuits. Digikey is recommended as a resource for finding these components.
