Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic component (1), in particular a low-ohm current-sense resistor, comprising at least one plate-shaped section (2, 3) and at least one terminal (7, 8) to electrically contact the plate-shaped section (2, 3). According to the invention, the terminals (7, 8) for measuring the voltage drop created by the current flow are formed by means of stamping and thread-shaping in the plate-shaped sections (2, 3).

Abstract: The invention relates to a current-sensing resistor (1) for measuring an electric current, in particular also for measuring a battery current in a vehicle power supply, having a plate-shaped first connecting part (3) for introducing the electrical current to be measured, wherein the plate-shaped first connecting part (3) consists of an electrically conductive conductor material; a plate-shaped second connecting part (2) for conducting away the electrical current to be measured, wherein the plate-shaped second connecting part (2) consists of an electrically conductive conductor material; and a plate-shaped resistance element (4), which is connected in the current path between the two connecting parts and through which the electrical current to be measured flows, wherein the resistance element (4) consists of a comparatively high-impedance resistance material.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic component (1), in particular a current sensor, having a resistance element (5) made of a resistance material, a first connection part (3) made of a conductor material for introducing an electrical current into the resistance element (5), and a second connection part (4) made of a conductor material for discharging the electrical current from the resistance element (5). According to the invention, the component (1) has a temperature-measuring device (8) for measuring a temperature difference between the resistance element (5), on the one hand, and at least one of the two connection parts (3, 4), on the other hand, in order to derive the current from the temperature difference.

Abstract: The invention relates to a thermopile wire (1), a winding support for such a thermopile wire, as well as a method and a machine (11) for producing a thermoelectric generator including a thermopile wire (1). The invention takes into account that the effective winding diameter changes from one winding layer of the thermopile wire (1) to the next when the thermopile wire (1) is wound.
