 Votes so far: For:(0) Against:(0)
Claims: I claim:

1. An electrical resistor package comprising in combination:

a substrate means; electrical current conducting material formed to provide resistance to electrical current conduction and formed into a particular path, said electrical current conducting material secured to said substrate to provide a naked electrical resistor element; a first layer of flexible material having a silicone base formed to encapsulate said naked electrical resistor element; a second layer of flexible material having a silicone rubber base and characterized by being a moisture barrier formed to encapsulate said first layer of flexible material; hard material housing means formed to surround said second layer of flexible material; and electrical lead means connected to said naked electrical resistor element and mounted to extend from said hard material housing means, whereby said naked electrical resistor element is protected from the effects of stress and humidity.

2. An electrical resistor package according to claim 1 wherein said electrical current conducting material is metal foil formed into a zigzag patch.

3. An electrical resistor package according to claim 1, wherein said first layer of flexible material is composed of silicone wax having the property of being non-adhesive.

4. An electrical resistor package according to claim 1 wherein said electrical lead means comprise a pair of thin metal ribbons secured to the ends of said path of electrical conducting material and a pair of relatively heavy gauge wires connected to said metal ribbons and mounted to extend from said hard material housing.
