Thick film elements use screen-printed ruthenium oxide paste fired onto alumina substrates, offering cost-effectiveness and moderate precision (±1-5% tolerance). Thin film elements use vacuum-deposited nickel-chromium or tantalum nitride layers, providing higher precision (±0.1-1% tolerance), better temperature stability, and lower noise.
Resistance changes with temperature according to the temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR). High-quality elements have low TCR values (±5-100ppm/°C) for stable performance. Excessive temperature can cause permanent resistance drift, reduced lifespan, or catastrophic failure due to material degradation or thermal stress.
Common failure modes include overheating from excessive power dissipation, mechanical stress from thermal cycling, moisture ingress causing corrosion, electrostatic discharge damage, and solder joint fatigue. Proper derating (typically 50-70% of rated power) and environmental protection extend element lifespan.
