Abstract
A chip network resistor includes a plurality of discrete electrodes and common electrodes which are connected to a plurality of resistance elements according to a predetermined pattern. The configuration of the common electrodes is larger more than that of the discrete electrodes. Thereby, the contact resistance between the terminal of a measuring instrument and a common electrode is reducible when a value of resistance is measured.
Claims8
A chip network resistor comprising:
- a plurality of resistance elements;
- at least one common electrode connected to all of the respective resistance elements;
- a plurality of discrete electrodes, each connected to a corresponding one of said resistance elements;
- and
- a substrate on which the resistance elements, the common electrode and the discrete electrodes are formed and a protective layer covering the resistance elements;
- wherein the common electrode has a width which is larger than that of any of the discrete electrodes and is located at a corner portion of the chip network resistor.
