Abstract A cermet fixed resistor having a tubular, cylindrical core of insulating ceramic material, a cermet resistive layer on the cylindrical sides of the core, low resistance layers on the core ends that are an electrical continuation of the cermet, lead wires having heads inserted with a tight fit into the core ends and also having radial collars abutting the core ends, such lead wires having a low melting solder coating along their shanks for faciliating a solder connection into an electrical circuit and having a second relatively high melting solder forming a bond between the head ends and collars with the low resistance layers on the core, and the resistor having a conformal coating of resin over the cermet that is copolymerized from the epoxy and phenolic constituents.
