Abstract

Non-linear resistors have been known since the early 19th century but have been of commercial significance only over the last 50 years. Today over 700 million pieces are manufactured annually. This paper outlines the three major types commonly found in the electronics industry, namely, negative and positive temperature coefficient thermistors, and voltage-dependent resistors. The electrical properties of each type are examined and from these various fields of application are derived.
