Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng | | English term or phrase: resistive ink | Film-type switching elements, such as membrane switches, film-type pressure sensors or similar devices usually include a first carrier film (also referred to as carrier foil) and a second carrier film arranged at a certain distance from one another by means of a spacer. The spacer, e.g. comprising a double-sided adhesive film, has at least one opening, which extends between the first and second carrier films, and which defines, by its contour, the active zone of the switching element. At least two electrodes are arranged within the active zone between said first and second carrier films in such a way that, in response to a pressure acting on the switching element, the first and second carrier films are pressed together against the reaction force of the elastic carrier films and an electrical contact is established between the at least two electrodes. Advantageously, the carrier films are mono- or multilayer polymer films onto which the electrodes and other elements of the electric circuit are printed or otherwise applied *** in form of a conductive (or resistive) ink or paste (e.g. ink comprising silver or graphite particles)***.
Two basic configurations exist for such switching elements. In the so-called "through-mode" variant, the first and second electrodes are arranged opposite one another in the active zone, i.e. each one of the first and second electrodes is disposed on its respective carrier film. In the so-called "shunt-mode" variant, both the first and second electrodes are arranged on the same one of the first and second carrier films, while a contact element is placed opposite the first and second electrodes on the other one of the carrier films. In each of these variants, the switching element may be implemented as a simple on-off switching element, having a substantially step-like electrical response, or as a pressure-sensitive switching element, showing a gradual decrease of resistance as a function of pressure. In the latter case, at least one of the electrodes and the contact element comprises a layer of pressure-sensitive material, whose resistance decreases continuously or by minute steps with increasing pressure being applied thereon. |

| | German translation:Widerstandstinte | Explanation:
Es dürfte hier schlicht um eine Tinte oder Paste gehen, die als elektrischer Widerstand dient, ähnlich wie bei gedruckten Schaltungen.
Also resiststive ink gleichbedeutend mit resistor ink.
Resistor ink = Widerstandstinte (Ernst)
