The present invention relates to a surge-resistant wire-wound resistor and a manufacturing method thereof, wherein soldering points, at which a cap at each end of the wire-wound resistor is soldered, are electroplated with an electroplated metal layer to significantly improve the reliability of soldering points. The surge-resistant wire-wound resistor comprises a ceramic rod; one or more than one wound metal wire; a first cap and a second cap; a first lead wire and a second lead wire, wherein the first cap and the second cap are respectively electroplated to have a first cap electroplated layer and a second cap electroplated layer.
