Abstract
A resistor is composed of a resistor body part and a molded resin in which the resistor body part is embedded. The molded resin includes a base resin and a filler that is higher in thermal conductivity than the base resin.
Claims4
A resistor, comprising:
- a resistor body part;
- and
- a molded resin in which the resistor body part is embedded,
- wherein the molded resin comprises a base resin and a filler having a higher thermal conductivity than the base resin,
- wherein the resistor body part comprises a resistive element and a pair of plate terminals electrically connected to the resistive element, and at least a portion of each of the pair of plate terminals is exposed from the molded resin, and
- wherein at least one of the pair of plate terminals comprises a facing portion inside the molded resin, which faces the resistive element through a portion of the molded resin.

A method for manufacturing a resistor having a resistor body part and a molded resin in which the resistor body part is embedded, wherein the molded resin comprises a base resin and a filler having a higher thermal conductivity than the base resin, the method comprising:
- manufacturing the resistor body part;
- placing the resistor body part inside a mold;
- and
- injecting a raw material for the molded resin in a molten state inside the mold and curing the raw material to form the molded resin,
- wherein the resistor body part comprises a resistive element and a pair of plate terminals electrically connected to the resistive element, and at least a portion of each of the pair of plate terminals is exposed from the molded resin,
- wherein the resistor body part is placed in the mold while gripping the portion to be exposed from the molded resin at the pair of plate terminals at the mold, and
- wherein at least one of the pair of plate terminals comprises a facing portion inside the molded resin, which faces the resistive element through a portion of the molded resin.
