Bulk MetalĀ® Foil

Thin metal film

(definitions of basic manufacturing technologies)

Bulk Metal Foil:
A foil layer of resistance alloy bonded to a ceramic substrate providing a compensation technique to produce a very low TCR and insulated by a transfer molded case.

Hermetically Sealed Bulk Metal Foil:
Similar to Bulk Metal Foil but with the epoxy case replaced with a hermetically sealed enclosure.

Surface Mount Metal Strip:
A strip of insulated resistance alloy with surface mount terminations. The insulation may be either an epoxy transfer molded case or a conformal coating.

Through Hole Metal Strip:
A strip of insulated resistance alloy with through hole terminations. The insulation may be either an epoxy transfer molded case or a conformal coating.

Encapsulated Wirewound:
Resistance alloy in wire form wound on a former and encased in an epoxy (or other suitable material) molded case.

Self Supporting Preformed Wire:
Insulated or uninsulated resistance alloy wire formed to make the resistance element with integral or welded leads for through hole applications.

Coated Wirewound:
Resistance alloy in wire form wound on a former and insulated by a conformal coating of an epoxy resin, silicone enamel or vitreous enamel.
