The insulating materials used in the manufacture of resistors play a crucial role in ensuring safe and efficient operation. Each material offers specific properties, such as thermal resistance, electrical insulation, and mechanical durability, tailored to meet the various needs of manufacturers.
To provide the necessary insulation and ensure the quality of the final product, one or more of the following materials can be selected, depending on the application of each resistor:
- Ceramics (steatite, cordierite, and mullite)
- Mica (natural, phlogopite, muscovite, and synthetic)
- Fiberglass
