First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1 . A shunt resistor comprising an electrode member made of a conductive material, an electrode, and a resistance element, wherein the resistance element has a plate shape with thickness, and has a first resistance element surface and a second resistance element surface opposite to the first resistance element surface in a thickness direction, wherein the electrode member has a contact portion configured to contact the resistance element, wherein the contact portion has a first surface adjacent to the resistance element and a second surface opposite to the first surface, wherein the contact portion, the resistance element, and the electrode are laminated in the thickness direction, so that the first surface is connected to the first resistance element surface, and the electrode is connected to the second resistance element surface, and wherein the electrode member comprising: a slit formed on the contact portion. 2 . The shunt resistor according to claim 1 , wherein the slit is long in a direction perpendicular to a current direction. 3 . The shunt resistor according to claim 1 , wherein the slit is a through hole penetrated from the first surface to the second surface. 4 . A shunt resistance device, comprising: a resistance element, an electrode member, and an electrode; the electrode member comprising a contact portion contacting the resistance element; and a voltage detection wiring connected to the electrode member, wherein the resistance element has a plate shape with thickness, and has a first resistance element surface and a second resistance element surface opposite to the first resistance element surface in a thickness direction, wherein the contact portion has a first surface adjacent to the resistance element and a second surface opposite to the first surface, wherein the contact portion, the resistance element, and the electrode are laminated in the thickness direction, so that the first surface is connected to the first resistance element surface, and the electrode is connected to the second resistance element surface, wherein the electrode member comprises a slit formed on the contact portion, and wherein the voltage detection wiring is arranged in a first wiring area between the slit and a slit-side end portion of the electrode member. 5 . The shunt resistance device according to claim 4 , comprising a current wiring connected to the electrode member, the current wiring being arranged in a second wiring area opposite to the first wiring area across the slit. 6 . The shunt resistance device according to claim 4 , wherein the slit is long in a direction perpendicular to a current direction. 7 . The shunt resistance device according to claim 4 , wherein the slit is a through hole penetrated from the first surface to the second surface.
