Abstract
A resistor has a low resistance which precisely falls within a prescribed range regardless of the variation in the contact position of the probes. The resistor comprises a substrate, a pair of upper-surface electrode layers having respectively a notched section, provided on both sides of upper surface of the substrate, a resistor layer provided so that it is connected electrically to said upper-surface electrode layers, a protective layer formed to cover at least the resistor layer and side-face electrode layers provided respectively on side faces of said substrate so that the side-face electrode layers are overlapping on part of upper surface of said upper-surface electrode layers for electrical connection. The above construction reduces the dispersion in measuring the resistance even if contact positions of the probes for the resistance measurement vary.
