A resistor capable of being used as an RC network can be constructed using an electrically conductive metal sheet coated with a dielectric coating serving as a substrate. The dielectric coating supports two separate resistor terminals and a resistance element extending between these terminals. A third terminal is provided for use in connecting the metal sheet to one of the resistor terminals so that the resistor may be used as an RC network.

A pair of upper electrode layers 12, connected to resistor layer 14, is formed with a gold system electro-conductive material containing glass frit on the side portion towards the edge of the upper surface of substrate 11.
