Patent ID: 7282163

Claim:
A resistor paste comprised of a first glass composition substantially not including lead, a second glass composition substantially not including lead of a composition different from said first glass composition, and a conductive material substantially not including lead mixed with an organic vehicle, said resistor paste characterized in that: the resistor paste further includes CuO as an additive other than the first glass composition and the second glass composition, said first glass composition includes ZnO in an amount of at least 10 mol % and at least one component selected from CaO, SrO, and BaO in an amount of less than 10 mol % (including 0), said second glass composition includes MnO in an amount of at least 5 mol % and at least one component selected from CaO, SrO, and BaO in an amount of at least 10 mol %, and the total percent by volume of said first glass composition and second glass composition is 65 to 89 vol % when the volume of the powder of the total of the conductive material, first glass composition, second glass composition, and additives is 100 and the percent by volume of said conductive material is 8 to 33 vol %.
