Abstract
A precision surface mounted foil resistor has a substrate having top and bottom planar surfaces. A resistance foil is secured to the bottom surface of the substrate and extends over the bottom. A bending protector plate of non-conductive material is superimposed over the resistance foil. A solder material is located at two areas of the foil to provide electrical contact with the PCB. The bending protector element is thicker than the solder contact areas and is provided between the solder material.

A precision surface mounted foil resistor for mounting to a PCB surface, comprising,
- a rigid substrate having top and bottom planar surfaces, and opposite ends,
- a resistance foil secured to the bottom planar surface of the substrate and extending over the bottom planar surface,
- a solder material at two areas of the resistance foil and in contact with the resistive foil for surface mounting to the PCB surface,
- a bending protector plate element of non-conductive material superimposed over the resistance foil without covering the solder material for intimately contacting the PCB surface;
- the bending protector having a thickness exceeding the thickness of the solder material on the resistance foil.
A precision surface mounted foil resistor for surface mounting to PCB surface, comprising,
- a rigid substrate having top and bottom planar surfaces, and opposite ends,
- a resistive foil secured to the bottom surface of the substrate and extending over the bottom surface,
- a bending protector element of non-conductive material extending downwardly from a center portion of the bottom of the substrate for intimately contacting the PCB surface,
- and a solder material for surface mounting to the PCB surface on opposite ends of the protector element and in contact with the resistive foil;
- said solder material having a thickness less than the thickness of the bending protector.
A precision surface mounted foil resistor for surface mounting to a PCB surface, comprising,
- a rigid substrate having top and bottom planar surfaces, and opposite ends,
- a resistance foil secured to the bottom surface of the substrate and extending over the bottom,
- a metal bending protector extending downwardly from a center portion of the bottom of the substrate and for intimately contacting the PCB surface,
- and a solder material for surface mounting to the PCB surface at opposite ends of the metal bending protector and in contact with the resistive foil whereby the bending metal protector is thicker than the solder material and is free from contact therewith.
