Temperature coefficient
Temperature coefficients of different materials for calculating resistance
The temperature coefficient (temperature coefficient) of a resistor describes the change in its resistance value when the temperature changes from a reference temperature of 20 ° C
The following lists show the temperature coefficient of resistance of some materials at 20 °C

In the case of the conductor materials that are important in electrical engineering, copper and aluminum in the temperature range 0 °C to 50 °C, the value 0.4% per °C can be calculated for estimates.
Commercially available low-power resistors have the usual temperature coefficients in the range from 0.0001 to 0.0002 (100ppm to 200 ppm) per °C, Precision resistances are in the range of 0.00005 (50 ppm) per °C.
The linear temperature coefficient is given in this case with the prefix TK, e.g. TK100 for a resistance with 100 ppm per °C.
