Abstract
Abstract Resistance material comprising a mixture of metal oxidic compounds, metal oxides, a permanent binder and a temporary binder, the resistance-determining component consisting of at least one component having the formula MxSr1-xRh2O4-4.5 in which M is selected from Pb and Bi and wherein 1/2>x>0. By combining this component with a material having an opposite TCR, a resistor having a very small TCR is obtained. This resistor is formed by firing this resistance material on a substrate.
