CURRENT DETECTION METAL PLATE RESISTOR AND METHOD OF PRODUCING SAME

摘要

A current detection metal plate resistor which has superior heat releasing properties able to minimize damage to a circuit due to overcurrent in an electronic device, and which is able to detect current with high precision, and a method of producing the same. The metal plate resistor (10) is provided with: a metal plate resistor body (11); a heat-resistant protective film (12) which is provided at the center of at least one surface of the metal plate resistor body; a pair of base electrode layers (14) which are provided on the one surface of the metal resistor body so as to cover both ends of the heat-resistant protective film provided at the center of the one surface of the metal resistor body; and a pair of end face electrode layers (15) which are provided at the two ends of the metal plate resistor body so as to cover the entire surfaces of the base electrode layers.
