paksulevyvastuksina

Paksulevyvastuksina, a Finnish term, translates to "thick film resistors" in English. These electronic components are a type of fixed resistor manufactured by screen printing or spraying a resistive layer onto a ceramic substrate. This resistive layer is typically made of a mixture of finely powdered resistive materials, such as metal oxides, and a binder. The thickness of this layer is what gives the component its name.

The manufacturing process involves several steps. First, the ceramic substrate, often alumina, is cleaned. Then, a paste containing the resistive material is applied to the substrate in a precise pattern. This paste is subsequently fired at high temperatures, which sinters the resistive material and bonds it to the substrate. The value of the resistance is determined by the composition of the resistive paste, the geometry of the printed track, and the thickness of the film.

Thick film resistors are known for their robustness and ability to handle moderate power. They offer a good balance of performance and cost, making them widely used in various electronic applications. Their versatility allows for a broad range of resistance values and tolerances. They are commonly found in consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and automotive systems. The term "paksulevyvastuksina" specifically refers to these components in a plural form, indicating multiple such resistors.
