Patent ID: 10109398

Abstract:
The invention is to provide a chip resistor suitable for lowering an initial resistance value. A chip resistor 1 according to the present invention is provided with: an insulating substrate 2; a pair of front electrodes 3 which are provided on a front surface of the insulating substrate 2 so as to face each other with a predetermined interval therebetween; a resistive element 4 which is provided so as to bridge the front electrodes 3; a pair of auxiliary electrodes 5 which are provided so as to cover the front electrodes 3 and overlap end portions of the resistive element 4; and the like. The chip resistor 1 is configured such that: the front electrodes 3 are formed of a material which contains 1 to 5 wt % Pd and the balance Ag; and the auxiliary electrodes 5 are formed of a material which contains 15 to 30 wt % Pd and a metal material (e.g. Au) lower in resistivity than Pd and the balance Ag.
