An electrical resistor has a resistance conductor, which is applied to a carrier layer, and two connection elements, which are electrically conductively connected to the resistance conductor. The two connection elements are configured to each be welded or soldered to an electrical contact in order to electrically contact the resistor. The resistance conductor for each connection element has a region that overlaps the corresponding connection element. The overlap region is in electrical contact with the corresponding connection element.
