Patent ID: 8054157

Claim:
RF terminating resistor including a flange body and a planar layered structure arranged thereon, comprising: on an upper face of a substrate, a resistor layer for converting RF energy into heat, an input conductor track for supplying RF energy and an earth connection conductor track for electrical connection to an earth contact on the flange body, wherein the input conductor track is electrically connected to a first end of the resistor layer, the earth connection conductor track is electrically connected to a second end of the resistor layer opposing the first end, and the substrate lies on the flange body with a contact face which faces away from the layered structure characterized in that, at a first edge which faces toward the earth connection conductor track on the substrate, over at least one predetermined section in a direction parallel to said edge and a predetermined section in a direction perpendicular to said edge, the flange body is bent over such that a bent-over section of the flange body extends into a space between a first plane defined by the contact face of the substrate and a second plane defined by the upper face of the substrate, wherein, with one side which connects the contact face of the substrate to the upper face of the substrate and towards which the earth connection conductor track on the upper face of the substrate faces, the substrate abuts the bent-over section of the flange body, wherein the bent-over section of the flange body has at least two noses, the separation of which in the direction parallel to the first edge of the flange body correspondsto the width of the substrate, and which extend into a space between the first plane and the second plane.
