The resistive material is a combination of a Ceramic material and a Metal, and therefore these resistors are also referred to as Cermet. Just as with carbon film, the resistance value is adjusted by cutting a spiral pattern in the film. This can be done with an abrasive or a laser.
The operating temperature is the range of ambient temperature within which a power supply, or any other electrical equipment, operate in. This ranges from a minimum operating temperature, to a peak or maximum operating temperature, outside which, the power supply may fail.
The resistance-change factor per degree Celsius of temperature change is called the temperature coefficient of resistance. This factor is represented by the Greek lower-case letter “alpha” (α). A positive coefficient for a material means that its resistance increases with an increase in temperature.
