Carbon Film Resistor

A carbon film resistor is a type of fixed resistor that is commonly used in
electronic circuits. It consists of a cylindrical ceramic core with a thin film
of carbon deposited on its surface. The carbon film is then spiral-wound around
the core to achieve the desired resistance value.
Advantages of Carbon Film Resistors
• Accuracy and Stability
Carbon film resistors provide good accuracy and stability in their resistance
values over a wide range of temperatures and operating conditions. The carbon
film material has a low temperature coefficient of resistance, which means that
its resistance remains relatively stable with changes in temperature.
• Noise Performance
Carbon film resistors have low noise levels, making them suitable for
applications where signal quality is crucial, such as audio circuits.
