Carbon film resistors sometimes are called surface layer resistors. Better qualities are classified as “stable” with a ΔR/R that will stop at ≤1%. Their role has, to a great extent, been taken over by the metal film but they still have a market, especially as cheap 5 percent E 24 components. At new designs, one should yet consider replacing them with metal film resistors that also are offered in E 24, 5 percent.
