To make a resistor easily manufacturable even when the resistance value of the resistor is lowered by constituting the resistor of a resistance element and terminals which are integrally formed at both end sections of the element and have thicknesses larger than the element and widths equivalent to or broader than that of the element forming the terminals and resistance element of one metallic sheet.
A resistance element 11 and terminals 12 which are integrally formed at both end sections of the element 11 and have thicknesses larger than that of the element 11 widths equivalent to or broader than that of the element 11 is formed of one metallic sheet. Only one resistance value correcting slit 13 is provided in the side section of the element 11, Then an insulating material 14 composed of an epoxy resin, polyester resin, polyether imide resin, liquid crystal polymer, etc., is provided so as to cover the surface of the element 11. In addition, the total thickness of the element 11 and insulating material 14 is adjusted to a value which is equivalent to or thinner than that of the terminals 12. A metallic coating material 15 composed of a metallic material, such as gold, silver, nickel, palladium, solder, tin, etc., is provided so as to cover the terminals 12.
