Chip resistor

A chip resistor comprising:

• a substrate having a top surface and a back surface facing away from each other in a thickness direction and a pair of side surfaces spaced apart from each other in one direction orthogonal to the thickness direction and connected to the top surface and the back surface;
• a pair of top electrodes spaced apart from each other in the one direction and held in contact with the top surface;
• a resistor element disposed on the top surface and connected to the pair of top electrodes;
• a pair of back electrodes spaced apart from each other in the one direction and held in contact with the back surface;
• and
• a pair of side electrodes held in contact with the pair of side surfaces and connected to the pair of top electrodes and the pair of back electrodes, wherein
• each of the back electrodes has a first layer in contact with the back surface and a second layer covering at least a part of the first layer,
• the first layer is spaced apart from a boundary between a first one of the paired side surfaces and the back surface in the one direction, so that the back surface has a region of interval defined between the first layer and the boundary, the first layer being insulating and made of a material containing synthetic resin,
• a first one of the paired side electrodes comprises a back portion that overlaps with the region of interval as viewed in the thickness direction.
