Resistor and method of manufacturing resistor

Resistors and a method of manufacturing resistors are described herein. A resistor includes a resistive element and a plurality of upper heat dissipation elements. The plurality of heat dissipation elements are electrically insulated from one another via a dielectric material and thermally coupled to the resistive element via an adhesive material disposed between each of the plurality of heat dissipation elements and a surface of the resistive element. Electrode layers are provided on a bottom surface of the resistive element. Solderable layers form side surfaces of the resistor and assist in thermally coupling the heat dissipation elements, the resistor and the electrode layers.
