Abstract: The chip resistor includes insulating substrate 10, first and second top electrodes (11x, 11b) on the top surface of the insulating substrate each on either longitudinal end thereof, and resistive element 12 electrically in contact with the top electrodes, wherein each of the top electrodes has, on its inner side facing to the other, cutout part 11a and protruding part 11b, with the cutout part in the first top electrode extending from at least one longitudinal side of the insulating substrate, transversely inwards thereof, and with the cutout part in the second top electrode arranged substantially point-symmetrically to the cutout part in the first top electrode with respect to the center of the insulating substrate, wherein the resistive element has contacting regions 12b, and non-contacting regions 12c, and trimming slot (53a, 53b) including a linear part.
