Title: Telephone subscriber line battery feed resistor arrangements
Inventor: JAKAB GYULA
IPC: H04M19/00
Filed: 1984-08-07
Abstract: Battery feed resistors are constituted by thick film resistors (3) on a substrate (1), electrically in series with switching type positive temperature coefficient (PTC) resistors (11) which are closely thermally coupled to the thick film resistors by being mounted on the substrate behind the thick film resistors or on insulating layers (13) over the thick film resistors. Precise battery feed resistances and matching of pairs of battery feed resistors are achieved by trimming the thick film resistors.
