A Thin Film Resistor is a type of electronic component that provides resistance to the flow of electric current. It is made by depositing a very thin layer of resistive material onto a substrate, which can be made of materials like glass or ceramic. This design allows for precise control of resistance values and is commonly used in applications requiring high accuracy and stability. These resistors are often found in devices such as sensors, amplifiers, and circuit boards. Their small size and ability to operate over a wide range of temperatures make them ideal for modern electronic applications, where space and performance are critical.
