Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
55 words
A printed circuit substrate with a resistance coat, comprising an insulating support having provided at least on one side thereof a plated resistance coat of a tin-nickel alloy consisting essentially of about 50-85% by weight tin and about 15-50% by weight nickel, and further comprising a highly conductive material layer disposed over said resistance coat.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
55 words
A printed circuit substrate with a resistance coat, comprising an insulating support having provided at least on one side thereof a plated resistance coat of a tin-nickel alloy consisting essentially of about 50-85% by weight tin and about 15-50% by weight nickel, and further comprising a highly conductive material layer disposed over said resistance coat.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The printed circuit substrate as recited in claim 1, wherein said resistance coat comprises a tin-nickel alloy containing 64 to 70% by weight tin.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The printed circuit substrate as recited in claim 1, wherein said resistance coat is applied by electroplating or chemical plating.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
The printed circuit substrate as recited in claim 1, wherein the thickness of said resistance coat comprising tin-nickel alloy is in a range of about 70 to 2000 A.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
The printed circuit substrate as recited in claim 1, wherein a sheet resistance of said resistance coat comprising tin-nickel alloy is in a range of about 20 to 450 ohms per square.
