CONSTRUCTION
The resistors are constructed out of a high-grade ceramic body. Internal
metal electrodes are added at each end and connected by a resistive
paste. The composition of the paste is adjusted to give the approximate
required resistance and laser cutting of this resistive layer that achieves
tolerance trims the value. The resistive layer is covered with a protective
coat and printed with the resistance value. Finally, the two external
terminations are added. See fig. 3
