Thin Film

Overview

Thin Film Resistors

Thin Film Resistors are those manufactured by coating a thin resistive film on top of a ceramic base. The thin film coating would be no more than 0.1 micron in thickness. The thickness of the film determines the resistance offered. Read More

The thin metal film layer enables the resistor to have smooth electron flow, small temperature coefficient of resistance, and long term stability making it fit for high precision applications.

During manufacturing, a metallic film is vacuum deposited on top of the insulating substrate. Ni-chrome, an alloy of Nickel and Chromium is often used as the metal film.

Thin film resistors are widely used in:

  • Precision control equipment, drilling machines
  • Automotive industry (Engines, gear box, brake and battery management)
  • Smart power meters (Invertors, Electronic meters, Grid control)
  • Industrial control and measurement systems
  • Avionics, flight control systems
  • Microwave equipment
  • Telecom Base stations, small cells, IoT

Why KWK Film Resistors?
