RESISTOR AND PROTECTOR FOR TRANSMISSION LINE

摘要

The subject resistor can be reduced in size and acts to protect a transmissi on line. The resistor has a serpentine resistive element having bent portions. Electric field concentration in these bent portions and generation of a spark at thes e bent portions are prevented. A transmission line protector using this resistor is also provided. The resistor comprises an alumina plate, the aforementioned serpen tine resistive element formed on the alumina plate, and electrodes formed over (o r under) the inner portions of the bent portions of the serpentine resistive element.
