RESISTOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a resistor which is superior in surge-resistant properties. SOLUTION: A resistor is equipped with an insulating board 11, a pair of electrode pads 12a and 12b formed on the insulating board 11, a resistor element 13 electrically connected between the electrode pads 12a and 12b, intermediate electrodes 14a and 14b formed nearly vertical, with respect to the flowing direction of a current flowing through the resistor element 13, a first trimming mark 15 which extends from the one side of the resistor element 13 and nearly vertical to the flowing direction of a current flowing through the resistor element 13, and a second trimming mark 16 which extends in parallel with the flowing direction of a current flowing through the resistor element 13, starting from the terminal end of the trimming mark 15.
