Resistor, particularly a low-resistance current-measuring resistor

A resistor comprising:

• a) a first connection part comprising a conductor material for introducing an electrical current into the resistor,
• b) a second connection part comprising a conductor material for discharging the electrical current from the resistor,
• c) a resistor element comprising a resistor material, the resistor element being arranged in a direction of a current between the first connection part and the second connection part, and
• d) a metallic coating of the resistor comprising a metallic material to achieve at least one of corrosion protection and improved solderability,
• wherein:
• e) the metallic coating is applied without an insulation layer directly to an entire free surface of the resistor element
• f) the metallic coating together with the resistor element forms an electrical bypass between the first and second connection parts,
• g) the electrical bypass through the metallic coating has a specific electrical conductance value,
• h) the resistor element has a specific electrical conductance value between the first and second connection parts, and
• i) the electrical conductance value of the electrical bypass is lower than 10% of the electrical conductance value of the resistor element.
