Patent ID: 8325005

Claim:
A chip resistor having first and second opposite ends, comprising: a rigid insulated substrate having a top surface and an opposite bottom surface; a first electrically conductive termination pad and a second electrically conductive termination pad, both termination pads on the top surface of the rigid insulated substrate; a layer of resistive material between the first and second electrically conductive termination pads; a first and a second flexible lead, each made of an electrically conductive metal with a solder enhancing coating; the first flexible lead attached and electrically connected to the first electrically conductive termination pad and the second flexible lead attached and electrically connected to the second electrically conductive termination pad; wherein each of the flexible leads being comprised of a plurality of lead sections for facilitating bending of each of the flexible leads around one of the ends of the chip resistor and each of the flexible leads being bent around one of the ends of the chip resistor.
