Electrical resistor material, resistor made therefrom and method of making the same

摘要

A vitreous enamel resistor material comprising a mixture of a vitreous glass frit and fine particles of tin oxide (SnO2). An electrical resistor is made from the resistor material by applying the material to a substrate and firing the coated substrate to a temperature at which the glass melts. The tin oxide is preferably heat treated prior to mixing with the glass frit. Upon cooling, the substrate has on the surface thereof, a film of the glass having the particles of the tin oxide embedded therein and dispersed therethroughout. The resistor material provides a resistor having a wide range of resistivity and a low temperature coefficient of resistance.
