Abstract:
1. A low resistance value resistor having inlaid metal strips, the resistor comprising a resistor body of a ribbon shape comprised of a resistive alloy, the resistor body having two end portions extending in a plane, and a central portion extending in at least one plane which is parallel to and different from the plane of the end portions, and two electrodes each comprised by a metal strip having two major parallel surfaces and having a high electrical conductivity, each end portion of the resistor body having an electrode affixed thereto and inlaid in a groove in the end portion of the resistor body with a first major surface of the metal strip contacting the end portion of the resistor body so as to form a clad structure and such that a second major surface of each metal strip and a surface of the each end portion of the resistor body adjacent to the groove lie in a common plane.
