Abstract: A thin film resistor formed using thermal spraying techniques in the manufacturing process is provided. A thin film resistor and method of manufacturing a thin film resistor are disclosed including a thermally sprayed resistive element. An alloy bond layer may be applied to a substrate and a thermally sprayed resistive layer is applied to the alloy bond layer by a thermal spraying process to form a thermally sprayed resistive element. The alloy bond layer and the thermally sprayed resistive layer may have the same chemical composition.

Abstract: An adjustable rear stud connector is suitable for connecting a circuit breaker to a bus bar. Rear stud connectors are rotationally adjustable to contact a corresponding bus bar, while minimizing the stress applied to the rear stud connector when connected. The rear stud connector includes a rear stud, including a stud blade and a stud base, and a rear stud adapter including an adapter base and an adapter mount. The adapter base includes a plurality of connector holes for connecting the stud base to the adapter base with fasteners. The stud base includes a plurality of circumferentially extending slots, with reference to a center axis of the stud base, for connecting the stud base to the adapter base with fasteners and to allow for a degree of positional flexibility of the stud base relative to the adapter base in a circumferential direction with respect to the center axis.
