Patent number: 9916921Abstract: A metal strip resistor is provided. The metal strip resistor includes a metal strip forming a resistive element and providing support for the metal strip resistor without use of a separate substrate. There are first and second opposite terminations overlaying the metal strip. There is plating on each of the first and second opposite terminations. There is also an insulating material overlaying the metal strip between the first and second opposite terminations. A method for forming a metal strip resistor wherein a metal strip provides support for the metal strip resistor without use of a separate substrate is provided. The method includes coating an insulative material to the metal strip, applying a lithographic process to form a conductive pattern overlaying the resistive material wherein the conductive pattern includes first and second opposite terminations, electroplating the conductive pattern, and adjusting resistance of the metal strip.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2016Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: VISHAY DALE ELECTRONICS, LLCInventors: Clark L.

Patent number: 7190252Abstract: An electrical resistor is provided with a resistive element and terminations extending from opposite ends of the resistive element. The terminations are folded under the resistive element, with a thermally conductive and electrically insulative filler being sandwiched and bonded between the resistive element and the terminations. The terminations provide for mounting of the resistor to an electronic circuit assembly. The intimate bond between the resistive element, filler and terminations allow for enhanced dissipation of heat generated in the use of the resistive element, so as to produce a resistor which operates at a lower temperature, and improves component reliability.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2005Date of Patent: March 13, 2007Assignee: Vishay Dale Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Clark L.
