Abstract
The primary limiting factor of the variable resistors presently available for operation in the low microampere range is output instability as a result of changes in contact resistance. These changes result from nonconductive films and dielectrics forming over time between the resistor element and wiper contact. The authors discuss a novel cermet technology that greatly reduces the effects of contact resistance, namely, recently developed Palirium system that improves output stability by creating a precious metal to metal contact point between the resistor's element and the wiper.<>
