1. A resistor unit adapted to be used in a resistor grid assembly, the resistor unit comprising:
- a supporting element having an aperture formed therein;
a resistor element having a body portion extending along a longitudinal direction and a tip portion disposed at an end of the body portion, the tip portion of the resistor element adapted to be received in the aperture to mount the resistor element on the supporting element; and
a tab extending from the end of the body portion in a substantially transverse direction, the tab is configured to provide a heat shield between the supporting element and the resistor element.

Abstract
A resistor unit adapted to be used in a resistor grid assembly. The resistor unit includes a supporting element and a resistor element. The supporting element has an aperture formed therein. The resistor element has a body portion and a tip portion at an end, which is adapted to be received in the aperture to mount the resistor element to the supporting element. Further, a tab extends from the end of the resistor element forming a part of the resistor element. The tab is configured to provide a heat shield between the supporting element and the resistor element.
