Patent ID: 7129814

Claim:
A chip resistor comprising: a metal resistor element having a first principal surface and a second principal surface opposite the first principal surface; a first insulating film made of resin and formed on the first principal surface of the resistor element; and a film detachment regulator fixed to the resistor element, wherein the film detachment regulator overlaps a portion of the first insulating film, said portion of the first insulating film being inserted between the film detachment regulator and the first principal surface of the resistor element; wherein the film detachment regulator comprises two main electrodes spaced from each other on the first principal surface, the first insulating film being formed between the two main electrodes; wherein the second principal surface of the resistor element is formed with a second insulating film made of resin, the film detachment regulator comprising two auxiliary electrodes spaced from each other on the second principal surface, each of the auxiliary electrodes overlapping a portion of the second insulating film.
