Claim:
1. A resistive voltage divider comprising: at least a first resistor and a second resistor electrically connected in series, each of the first and second resistors being made of an electrically resistive film material and each applied as a trace onto an insulating substrate; and a third resistor electrically connected in parallel with the second resistor, the trace of the second resistor and a trace of the third resistor each overlapping on one end at least in part with a first contacting terminal and on a respective other end at least in part with a second contacting terminal, wherein each of the first and second contacting terminals extends in a first direction, wherein the first contacting terminal has at least one first protrusion extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and the second contacting terminal has at least one second protrusion extending in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction, the second direction being opposite to the third direction, wherein the first and second contacting terminals are arranged in an interdigitated manner in which the first and second protrusions of the first and second contacting terminals respectively extend in the opposite second and third directions without contacting each other, and wherein a voltage ratio of the divider is a value between one hundred and one million.
