  • Patent number: 4119937
    Abstract: A resistor, which can be of either the fixed or variable type, having a metal base covered by an insulating coating over all but an exposed area of the metal. A film type resistive compound or a wire winding covers the insulating coating but overruns it in the exposed area of the metal base and is bonded to the metal base. A suitable conventional terminal member is in conductive relation to the resistive compound covering at a point remote from the exposed area of the base so that the base, itself, may function as one terminal for the resistor.
