Overview Of The Cylindrical Fixed Carbon Film Resistor

Carbon film resistors are a type of film resistors. It uses high-temperature vacuum coating technology to closely attach carbon to the surface of the porcelain rod to form a carbon film, then add appropriate joints for cutting, and coat the surface with epoxy resin for sealing protection. The surface is often painted with green protective paint. The thickness of the carbon film determines the size of the resistance, and the thickness of the film and the notch are usually used to control the resistor. Carbon film resistors are also called "thermal decomposition carbon film resistors". A type of thin film resistor in which carbon is deposited on the substrate by carbon that is thermally decomposed at high temperature in a vacuum. Low price, stable performance, wide resistance value and power range.



Application Of The Cylindrical Fixed Carbon Film Resistor

The typical uses for carbon film resistors are in high voltage and high temperature applications. Operating voltages can be as high as 15 kV with nominal temperatures of 350°C. Example uses include high voltage power supplies, radars, x-rays, and lasers.

What do the colours mean?

Each of the colour bands has a specific meaning. The first two colours give the base value of the resistor, the next gives the multiplier and the final band the tolerance. If a resistor has five bands, it is a more precise resistor, in which the first three bands represent the base values, and the fourth and fifth represent the multiplier and tolerance respectively.


Benefits of Carbon Composition

Carbon composition resistors are made from a moulded carbon powder that has been mixed with a phenolic resin to bind and create a uniform resistive body. It is then surrounded in an insulating case after attaching end leads.
Carbon composition resistors are used in applications in which the initial tolerance does not need to be any closer than +/- 5% of the value.
