Resistor

A resistor comprising:

• a resistive element having a first face arranged to face in a thickness direction;
• an insulation plate disposed on the first face;
• and
• a pair of electrodes spaced apart from each other in a first direction perpendicular to the thickness direction, and each disposed in contact with the resistive element,
• wherein the pair of electrodes each include a bottom portion disposed on an opposite side of the insulation plate with respect to the resistive element, in the thickness direction,
• the resistive element includes a pair of first resistive regions spaced apart from each other in the first direction, a second resistive region disposed between the pair of first resistive regions, and a pair of connection regions each disposed in contact with one of the pair of electrodes, and each connected to one of the pair of first resistive regions,
• the pair of first resistive regions each overlap with the bottom portion of one of the pair of electrodes, as viewed in the thickness direction,
• a maximum width of a conduction path in the pair of first resistive regions is narrower than a minimum width of the conduction path in the second resistive region,
• the resistive element includes a second face arranged to face in an opposite direction to the first face,
• the resistive element includes a plurality of slits penetrating therethrough from the first face to the second face, and extending in a second direction perpendicular to both of the thickness direction and the first direction,
• the plurality of slits are formed in the pair of first resistive regions,
• the second resistive region is disposed adjacent to one of the plurality of slits farthest from one of the pair of electrodes in the first direction,
• the resistive element includes an auxiliary slit penetrating therethrough from the first face to the second face, and extending in the second direction,
• the auxiliary slit is formed in the second resistive region, and
• the auxiliary slit is shorter than each of the plurality of slits.
