A metal oxide resistor is made from a thin film of metal oxide, designed to regulate current flow in circuits.
This type of resistor benefits from the stability of metal oxide films against temperature fluctuations and electrical stress, offering high durability and consistent performance over time. Despite their compact size, they achieve precise control over resistance values.
Widely utilized in electronic devices, metal oxide resistors are essential for power circuits, signal processing, and filtering. They are also pivotal in automotive electronics for engine control and safety systems like airbags. In the realm of communications, they play critical roles in signal processing and filtering within network equipment.
