A Power Thick Film Resistor is a specialized resistor designed to handle high power loads in electronic circuits. It is constructed using a thick film of resistive material deposited onto a ceramic or metal substrate. Danyu Electronics provides high power thick film resistor manufacturer for more than 10 years, we are a professional thick film resistor manufacturer
The primary function of a Power Thick Film Resistor is to limit electrical current, divide voltages, or dissipate power in high-power electronic applications.
The resistor works by creating resistance to the flow of electrical current through its thick-film resistive layer. This resistance generates heat, which the ceramic substrate helps to dissipate, ensuring stable performance.
Thick film resistors have a thicker resistive layer and are more suited for high-power applications, whereas thin film resistors have a thinner layer, offering higher precision but less power capacity.
