Abstract
Abstract Low value resistor inks comprising a conductive component consisting of stannous oxide and molybdenum trioxide or a mixture of molybdenum trioxide and metallic molybdenum; a glass powder selected from the group consisting of a barium aluminum borate glass and a barium calcium borosilicate glass; and a suitable organic vehicle are improved by the addition of a TCR modifier. Cadmium oxide is added to raise the TCR value of the subject resistor inks, and ferric oxide, vanadium oxide or mixtures thereof is added to lower the TCR value thereof.
