A method of fabricating resistors in igniter is provided. The method includes punching an alloy material to obtain a plurality of alloy components. The alloy components are disposed on a substrate, and electrodes are disposed on the substrate. Resistors in igniter are obtained by disposing electrodes on the substrate such that two electrically connecting regions of each alloy component are physically contacting and electrically connecting to the electrodes, respectively. The resulting resistors in igniter have uniform size and stable shape hence showing great ignition performance.

A resistor includes an elongated cylindrical body having nodes and elongated members. The elongated members interconnect the nodes to form openings between the nodes and the elongated members for the flow therethrough of a cooling fluid. The body is configured to receive electric current from a powered system and to conduct and provide electric resistance to the electric current to dissipate at least part of the electric current as heat from the body. The body also is configured to be coupled with at least one other resistor of the powered system in one or more of a parallel or series arrangement in an electric circuit.

A resistor component includes an insulating substrate, a resistor layer disposed on one surface of the insulating substrate and having one end and the other end opposing each other in a first direction, and first and second terminals disposed on the insulating substrate and spaced apart from each other to oppose each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and connected to the resistor layer.

A chip resistor is capable of improving surge characteristic while finely adjusting a resistance value with high accuracy. A chip resistor includes a resistor which is print-formed such that a first meandering portion is consecutively connected to a second meandering portion across a rectangular adjustment portion. The adjustment portion is provided with a first trimming groove to lengthen a current path of the resistor, thereby improving the surge characteristic while coarsely adjusting a resistance value of the resistor to bring it close to a target resistance value. Furthermore, a second trimming groove is provided in an area of the second meandering portion where a current distribution is small, thereby finely adjusting the resistance value of the resistor to make it coincide with the target resistance value in accordance with a cutting amount of the second trimming groove.
