Abstract:
A ceramic substrate supports a plurality of moisture resistant cermet film resistive paths having a uniform temperature coefficient of resistance, a center collector, a contactor wipingly engaging the collector and a resistive path, and a contactor driver having a stub shaft with an enlarged portion thereof bearing against the substrate. Terminations on the substrate comprise conductive pads disposed adjacent to passageways in the substrate and a protective layer of solder deposited over such pads. In a variable voltage divider embodiment, a surge limiting resistive path is provided between the collector and an output termination to reduce the magnitude of high frequency, high potential pulses applied to the output termination of the divider.
