A resistor includes a resistive element, a protective film, and a pair of electrodes. The resistive element is made of a metal plate. The protective film is formed on the upper surface of the resistive element. The plated layers are formed to cover the electrodes. The electrodes are separated from each other with the protective film therebetween and are formed at both ends of the upper surface of the resistive element. The electrodes are formed by printing metal-containing paste.
