Patent ID: 11239009

Abstract:
A power resistor is disclosed, having at least one electrical connection, having a carrier substrate, which has at least one resistor element composed of a thick-film material and at least one contact electrode to which the resistor element electrically connects, having at least one electrical conductor, which is soldered to the contact electrode and produces an electrical connection between the contact electrode and the electrical terminal, and having a housing, which is at least partially filled with at least one casting compound and in which the resistor element and contact electrode are encapsulated, with the electrical conductor protruding out through the casting compound. In order to achieve a simply designed and easy-to-use power resistor, it is proposed for a pin, in particular a soldering pin or press-fitting pin, to constitute the electrical conductor, which pin is placed onto the contact electrode and soldered to it and constitutes the electrical terminal of the power resistor.
