Abstract
In the present device, a base member is included which has channels formed therein to hold lead wires. In the preferred embodiment a metal foil resistor member, having termination land sections, is secured to the base member to form a fourth side for each channel, thereby securely locating the lead wires in the channels and the lead wires are firmly connected to the termination land sections of the foil resistor. Accordingly with respect to the foil resistor assembly: there is good physical strength to withstand external forces; the resistor reliability is enhanced; the fabrication is simplified; and the resistance range capability is increased.
