Abstract

Abstract A printed resistor comprising an insulating matrix board, copper layers printed on one side of said board by etching and having predetermined patterns, impedance layers screen printed on the other side of said board, and conductors applied in holes formed in said board and extending through said holes for electrically connecting between selected ones of said copper layers and said impedance layers and the process for producing said printed resistor.
