Abstract: A resistor composition and process for making the same which comprises a conductive material, a glass frit and a vehicle therefor or a conductive material, a glass frit, an insulating or semiconductive metal oxide and a vehicle therefor, the weight ratio of said conductive material, said glass frit and said metal oxide, when the latter is present, being maintained substantially constant, wherein the resistance value of said composition is established by varying the total surface area of said conductive material, and said glass frit and, when applicable, said metal oxide, without changing the temperature coefficient of resistance of said composition.
