Abstract
A chip resistor having a value ranging from 10 Ohm to 100 kOhm and having a low temperature coefficient a low noise level and a high stability. The resistor is manufactured by means of the thin-fil technique. For this purpose, an NiCrAl-resistance layer is applied to one side of a flat ceramic support, and contact strips of Ni or an Ni-alloy, possibly preceded by an intermediate layer, are provided at two ends of the said support. An insulating lacquer layer is then applied to the resistance layer and partly overlaps the contact strips. The solderable supply strips are provided on the exposed metal portions.
Claims4
A chip resistor comprising a flat ceramic-support, said support having two major surfaces and two sides extending between said major surfaces, a NiCrAl resistance layer present on a first major surface of said support, contact strips of nickel or of a nickel alloy with nickel as the main constituent situated on end sections of the surface of said NiCrAl resistance layer, an insulating protective layer extending over said resistance layer and partially extending over said contact strips and solderable metal strips contacting exposed portions of said contact strips, extending along the sides of said support and contacting the other major surface of said support.
