Resistor

A resistor comprising:

• a resistive element made of metal and having an upper surface, a lower surface, a first edge surface connected to the upper surface and the lower surface, and a second edge surface connected to the upper surface and the lower surface;
• a first resin substrate provided on the upper surface of the resistive element, the first resin substrate having a high thermal conductivity;
• a first heat radiator plate made of metal provided on an upper surface of the first resin substrate;
• a second heat radiator plate made of metal provided on the upper surface of the first resin substrate such that the second heat radiator plate is separated from the first heat radiator plate via a first gap;
• a first edge-surface electrode provided on the first edge surface of the resistive element, the first edge-surface electrode being connected to the first heat radiator plate;
• and
• a second edge-surface electrode provided on the second edge surface of the resistive element, the second edge-surface electrode being connected to the second heat radiator plate.
