MULTILAYER RESISTIVE ELEMENT

摘要

A multilayer resistive element the resistance value of which can be finely adjusted. The multilayer resistive element comprises a multilayer sintered body (23) having a first group of inner electrodes (27a, 27b) and a second group of inner electrodes (24a, 24b, 25a, 25b). The first group of the inner electrodes have inner electrodes (24b, 25a) opposed to each other with a ceramic resistive layer interposed therebetween. A resistor unit is formed at a portion where the inner electrodes (24b, 25a) are opposed. One end of the resistor unit is connected to a first outer electrode (29), and the other is connected to a second outer electrode (30). The second group of the inner electrodes have pairs of the inner electrodes (27a, 27b) having their inner ends opposed to one another in the same plane in the multilayer sintered body, with gaps defined among the inner ends. The pairs of gaps between the pairs of inner electrodes (27a, 27b) are in the same position when viewed from one stack direction of the multilayer sintered body.
