ABSTRACT:
An electrical device having a resistive element having a first electrode in electrical contact with the top surface of the resistive element and a second electrode in electrical contact with the bottom surface of the resistive element. An insulating layer is formed on the first and second electrodes. A portion of the insulating layer is removed from the first and second electrodes to form first and second contact points. A conductive layer is formed on the insulating layer and makes electrical contact with the first and second electrodes at the contact points. The conductive layer has portions removed to form first and second end terminations separated by electrically non-conductive gaps. The wrap-around configuration of the device allows for an electrical connection to be made to both electrodes from the same side of the electrical device.
