Carbon film resistor

Carbon film resistor

A composition resistor. A type of resistor produced using carbon as the resistive material. A film resistor uses a film of carbon (or other material) which is sprayed or coated onto a substrate of glass or ceramic, the carbon film forms the resistive element. The film may be cut or shaped to adjust the resistance value of the resistor.
