The invention relates to a
resistor assembly (2) comprising at least one connecting element (3, 3 ') and at least one
resistor element (4). A
coating (5) is applied as a substrate to at least a portion (411) of the surface (41) of the
resistor element (4) or as a substrate to at least a portion (311) of the surface (31) of the connecting element (3, 3 '), said
coating having at least one layer (50, 51, 52, 53). According to the invention, the
coating (5) is designed such that the
metal and the
semiconductor are in direct contact at a boundary surface (61) between the substrate and the coating (5), such that a p-n transition is formed at the boundary surface (61), and / or the
metal and the
semiconductor or the first
semiconductor and the second semiconductor are in direct contact at least at a boundary surface (62) between the first layer (50, 51) and the second layer (52) of the coating (5), such that a p-n transition is formed at the boundary surface (61). This is such that a p-n transition is formed at the boundary surface (62). The layer (50, 51, 52, 53) of the coating (5) may be in contact with an uncoated portion (412, 412 ') of the surface (41) of the resistor element (4) or an uncoated portion (312) of the surface (31) of the connection element (3, 3'), or both the first layer (50, 51) and the other layer (52, 53) of the coating (5), in order to detect a measurement
signal for determining the temperature of the resistor
assembly (2).
