Abstract:
A chip resistor comprising:an insulating substrate having an upper surface and a side surface; a first conductor pattern formed on the upper surface; a resistor element connected to the first conductor pattern; and a protective coating covering the resistor element; the first conductor pattern including a thinner-walled portion contacting the upper surface, and a thicker-walled portion connected to the thinner-walled portion and contacting the upper surface, the thinner-walled portion being spaced from the resistor element and extending up to the side surface, the thicker-walled portion contacting the resistor element and being spaced from the side surface; the thinner-walled portion being positioned entirely outside the protective coating; the thicker-walled portion being positioned partially outside the protective coating and partially inside the protective coating.
