A sulfurization detection resistor makes it possible to detect a degree of sulfurization accurately and easily, and a manufacturing method for such sulfurization detection resistor. A sulfurization detection resistor includes an insulated substrate having a rectangular parallelepiped shape, a first front electrode and a second front electrode formed at both ends on a main surface of the insulated substrate, multiple sulfurization detecting conductors connected in parallel to the first front electrode, multiple resistive elements connected between the sulfurization detecting conductors and the second front electrode, and a protective film formed to partially cover the sulfurization detecting conductors and entirely cover the resistive elements. The sulfurization detecting conductors have their sulfurization detecting portions exposed out of the protective film, and different timings are set for these sulfurization detecting portions respectively to become disconnected depending on a cumulative amount of sulfurization.
