METAL PLATE LOW RESISTANCE CHIP RESISTOR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a metal plate low resistance chip resistor which allows for manufacturing cost reduction by a step for setting an exact resistance value easily.SOLUTION: In the metal plate low resistance chip resistor, both end sides of a metal resistance plate formed in substantially rectangular shape serve as a pair of terminal electrodes, notches are formed in both sides between the pair of terminal electrodes and a concave step is formed on the lower surface side as a fixed resistance part, and a protective film insulating the fixed resistance part and an electrode film insulating the pair of terminal electrodes are provided. Consequently, the manufacturing process can be simplified sharply, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced by decreasing the number of components.
