A resistor and method of forming the resistor as an annular resistor body between a conductive pad surrounding a through-hole in the PCB and a surrounding conductive layer, the annular resistor body being formed from a conductive material having a selected resistivity, the outer and inner perimeters of the annular resistor body preferably being substantially constant radii whereby the operative resistance of the annular resistor body may be simply determined from the radii of its outer and inner perimeters, an effective thickness of the annular resistor body and its resistivity, the annular resistor body more preferably being formed from a liquid precursor facilitating formation of conductive interconnections at its outer and inner perimeters.
A resistor assembly in a printed circuit board (PCB), comprising
A resistor arranged in a printed circuit board (PCB) at the juncture of a conductive through-hole and a conductive layer surrounding the resistor formed at the juncture of a conductive through-hole in a printed circuit board (PCB) with a surrounding conductive layer, comprising a resistor body of conductive material having a selected resistivity, an outer perimeter of said resistor of body conductively interconnected directly with the conductive layer and an inner perimeter of said resistor body operatively interconnected directly with the conductive through-hole.
A method of forming a resistor in a conductive layer of a printed circuit board (PCB), comprising the steps of
