Resistor assembly and method for producing same

A method for producing a resistor assembly including at least two connector elements and at least one resistor element arranged between the at least two connector elements, wherein the method comprises the following steps:

• providing a first strip made of a first material, the first strip having an upper side and a lower side and two longitudinal sides;
• setting a width of the first strip;
• forming at least one shaped element as a positioning aid on at least the upper side or on at least the lower side of the first strip;
• longitudinal seam welding the first strip on each of its two longitudinal sides with respective further strips each made of a second material of which an electrical conductivity is greater than an electrical conductivity of the first material, thus forming a material composite;
• and
• cutting the material composite to produce the resistor assembly, the at least one resistor element of the resistor assembly being formed from the first material of the first strip and the at least two connector elements being respectively formed from the second material of the further strips.
