A resistor element for determining a parameter, including a planar ceramic substrate having a bearing surface and at least one aperture formed through the thickness thereof, an electrically resistive metallic layer which is substantially formed on the bearing surface of the ceramic substrate and has at least one extension which covers an inner wall surface of the above-indicated at least one aperture, a pair of conductors for connecting the resistive metallic layer to an external circuit, at least one of the pair of conductors being inserted into a corresponding one of the above-indicated at least one aperture of the ceramic substrate, and an electrically conductive adhesive at least partially filling each of the above-indicated at least one aperture, for securing an end portion of the corresponding one of the pair of conductors to the ceramic substrate, the electrically conductive adhesive electrically connecting the above-indicated at least one conductor to the above-indicated at least one extension of the resistive metallic layer.
