PURPOSE: To provide a thin type variable resistor, where bending strain is prevented from spreading to a conducting part to a resistor, when an external connector part of a metal terminal is subjected to bending, and electrical connection between the metal terminal and the resistor can be stabilized. CONSTITUTION: This variable resistor is provided with a base board 1, metal terminals 2-4 which are insertion-molded in the board 1 and a sliding member 6, which slides on a resistor 5 formed on the board 1. The sliding member 6 is attached rotatably, by caulking to an eyelet part 4a formed on the first metal terminal 4, and electrical conducting parts 2a, 3a of the metal terminals 2, 3 are electrically connected with the resistor 5. Variable external connection parts 2b-4b are led out from a bottom part of the board 1 and bent upward at positions of notches 2b1, 3b1 and 4b1, thereby the bending stresses of the metal terminals 2-4 to the board 1 can be eliminated, and connection reliability between the resistor 5 and the electrical conducting parts 2a, 3a is improved.
