Abstract
An electronic component and a method for producing the electronic component achieve efficient production of resistive elements with various resistances. The electronic component includes a pair of terminals opposite each other and a resistive element disposed between the pair of terminals. The resistive element includes a plurality of dots arranged so as to overlap each other in a reference arrangement pattern excluding a portion of the arrangement pattern. To produce the electronic component, an electronic component is prototyped in advance and includes a resistive element in which the dots are arranged in the entire reference arrangement pattern between the pair of terminals. The prototyped resistive element is then partially removed so as to attain a desired resistance. An electronic component is then produced in which the dots are arranged in the reference arrangement pattern with a portion of the arrangement pattern excluded on the basis of the shape of the partially removed resistive element.
