Abstract: A shunt resistor with a measurement circuit, retained on the shunt resistor, on a printed circuit board is proposed, in which separate spacers, by way of which the measurement circuit can be put in electrical and mechanical contact with the shunt resistor, are disposed between the printed circuit board of the measurement circuit and the shunt resistor. The printed circuit board of the measurement circuit can be connected in material-locking fashion to the spacers, and the printed circuit board with the spacers can then be mounted by means of material-locking connections on the shunt resistor via the spacers, and the length, position and number of the spacers are dimensioned such that assembly of the printed circuit board with components of predetermined dimensions can be done on the side of the printed circuit board facing toward the shunt resistor.
