Description
PO595-0IM1%1W50 Vitrohm Metal Oxide Resistor 1Mohm 1W 1% Axial Through Hole
A metal oxide resistorMetal-oxide film resistors are fixed form, axial resistors. They are made of ceramic rod that is coated with a thin film of metal oxides, such as tin oxide. Metal oxide film resistors must not be confused with metal oxide varistors, made of zinc oxide or silicon carbide.
Metal-oxide film resistors were widely used as the first real alternative to carbon composition resistors that were traditionally used.
The metal oxide film resistor provided a significant improvement in performance over the carbon resistors with higher degrees of stability, accuracy, and much lower levels of noise for which the carbon resistors were renowned.
Metal oxide film resistors
Metal oxide film resistors are manufactured as fixed leaded resistors.
They are use a ceramic rod as the base for the resistor. This is coated with a thin film of a conductive metal oxide – one popular material is tin oxide.
Metal Oxide Resistors are available at IBS Electronics from industry leading manufacturers. IBS is an authorized distributor for many metal oxide resistor manufacturers.
