The upper and lower strips are formed from copper and the center strip is formed from an electrically resistive material. The resistive material is coated with epoxy, and the upper and lower strips are coated with tin or solder. The strips may be moved in a continuous path and cut, calibrated, and separated for forming a plurality of electrical resistors.
