Thick Film Applications
Thick Film Printed Circuit Resistors are screen printed layers of resistive, conductive and/or dielectric pastes deposited on different types of substrates, like FR, CEM, Alumina, Polyester, Polyimide, PA, Dielectric on Metal etc.
There are two basic technologies depending on the type of pastes applied: Carbon and Cermet, the latter is needed on applications where high power dissipation is required or when resistor value stability at high temperatures is important.
Applications include:
Position Sensors: Feedback Potentiometers on different types of Actuators (HVAC, Window Blinds, Valve Controls,)
Switches and Controls: Joystick Controls, Speed Control of Professional Power Tools, DIY tools, Garden and Lawn Electric Tools
