Abstract: A chip resistor having a cuboid resistor body 1 of a ceramic material and solderable, metal current-supply strips 8 and 9 at a first pair of opposite side faces of the resistor body, can readily and accurately be manufactured so that it has a small resistance value, in that electrically insulating strips 6 and 7 are present between the solderable metal strips and the resistor body, and in that a second pair of opposing side faces of the resistor body is covered with electrically conductive layers 2 and 3, which layers are partly covered with electrically insulating layers 4 and 5, in such a way that each of the solderable metal strips 8 and 9 electrically conductively contacts one of the electrically conductive layers 2 and 3.

Abstract: A chip resistor comprising a cuboid resistor body of a ceramic material and solderable, metal, current-supply strips at a first pair of opposing side faces of the resistor body, can readily and accurately be manufactured in that a second pair of opposing side faces of the resistor body is covered completely with electrically insulating layers and in that the metal strips around the edges of the resistor body in such a way that the electrically insulating layers are partly covered by the metal strips.
