A thin film, cylindrical resistor is disclosed which exhibits non-inductive characteristics and which may be fabricated easily and economically. A cylindrical insulative substrate is provided with electrically conductive termination bands and a thin coating of electrically resistive material over the entire cylindrical surface. The resistive material is then cut along an axial path and along an interrupted spiral path so as to form the resistive material into a serpentine path along the cylindrical substrate. Leads are attached to each end and as the current traverses the length of the cylinder it travels in a serpentine path. The current travels in opposite directions along adjacent parallel portions of the path thereby cancelling out the major portion of inductance.

A low-inductance electrical resistor comprising a generally cylindrical insulating substrate with a thin electrically resistance film covering substantially its entire exterior surface, and connecting leads electrically connected to said resistive film, said resistive film having a plurality of cuts therethrough, one extending substantially the length of the resistor generally parallel to its longitudinal axis and another extending in an interrupted spiral so as to define a serpentine electrical path along the length of the resistor.
