Abstract
Abstract An improved thin-film resistor low in the resistance temperature coefficient is provided. A metal film or foil is bonded with a thermosetting resin onto an insulating base plate having a lower linear expansion coefficient than the metal and is etchingprocessed so as to be of a desired resistance pattern. The difference in the linear expansion coefficient between the metal and the insulating base is selected to be 26 to 66 X 10 7/*C. The metal and base are covered with a resin so as to be a molded assembly, together with lead wires connected to both ends of the metal.
