Abstract:
A discrete resistor comprising:a substrate having an upper surface, side surfaces and a bottom surface, said side surfaces each having a length from said upper surface to said bottom surface; a pair of electrodes including respective electrode Sayers, each being disposed on and in contact with respective opposite end portions of said upper surface of said substrate and on respective portions of said side surfaces of said substrate, said portion being limited to no more than half the length of said side surfaces from said upper surface; further respective conductive layers outside of said electrode layers along said respective portions of said side surfaces of said substrate, at least half the length of said side surfaces from said bottom surface being free of any conductive layers; a resistor layer disposed on said upper surface of said substrate, said resistor layer electrically connected to each of said pair of electrodes; and a protective layer covering at least an upper surface of said resistor layer.
