Thick film resistor is a type of chip resistor, which is a common resistance device widely used in electronic devices. Its characteristics include small size, high power, and high accuracy, making it widely used in modern electronic devices.
Firstly, in terms of volume, thick film resistors are a type of small resistive device. Due to its SMD packaging, it can be assembled together with other electronic components on the circuit board, saving space and improving the integration of the circuit board. In contrast, traditional resistors inserted through holes are much larger, so thick film resistors are widely used in modern electronic devices.
Secondly, from a material perspective, the resistance layer of a thick film resistor is made of a layer of thick film material. Thick film materials are usually materials with good conductivity, such as platinum, silver, nickel, etc. These materials have low resistance temperature coefficient, good conductivity, and high stability, thus ensuring the working stability and reliability of thick film resistors.
Again, from a parameter perspective, thick film resistors have a series of parameters. Among them, the most common are resistance values (typically ranging from a few ohms to a few megaohms), power (typically 1/16 watt to 1 watt), accuracy (typically 1%, 5%, etc.), and temperature coefficients (typically 50ppm/℃, 100ppm/℃, etc.). These parameters can be selected according to the specific application requirements to meet the circuit requirements.
In addition, from a power perspective, thick film resistors have higher power. Due to the use of thick film materials, its resistance layer is relatively thick and can withstand large power. This has made thick film resistors widely used in some high-power circuits, such as power supply circuits, power amplification circuits, etc.
Finally, in terms of accuracy, thick film resistors have high accuracy. The accuracy of thick film resistors is usually 1%, 5%, etc., which can meet the requirements of most circuits. Moreover, due to its relatively simple manufacturing process and low production costs, it can achieve high cost-effectiveness.
