Abstract
A metal strip resistor is provided with a resistive element disposed between a first termination and a second termination. The resistive element, first termination, and second termination form a substantially flat plate. A thermally conductive and electrically non-conductive thermal interface material such as a thermally conductive adhesive is disposed between the resistive element and first and second heat pads that are placed on top of the resistive element and adjacent to the first and second terminations, respectively.
