The resistor is constructed on top of a high-grade ceramic body. Internal metal electrodes are added at each end and connected by a resistive glaze. The resistive glaze is covered by a lead-free glass. The composition of the glaze is adjusted to give the approximately required resistance value. The whole element is covered by a protective overcoat. The top of overcoat is marked with the resistance value. Finally, the two external terminations (Ni/matte tin) are added,.
